If It's Any Consolation, Hillary Would Have Also Crushed McCain
JammieWearingFool — ... Yeah, all those PUMA votes that never materialized for McCain would have stayed with her , or something like that. As voters left the polls on Election Day, many were asked how they would have voted if the election match-up were between Hillary Clinton and John McCain rather than Barack Obama and McCain. 52 percent said they would have backed the former Democratic candidate; 41 percent would have voted for McCain, wider than Obama’s 7-point margin over McCain. Interestingly, 16 percent of McCain voters said they would have voted for Clinton, the Democrat, if she had been her ...

A Few More Hillary Hypotheticals
FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right — Color me skeptical about this: As voters left the polls on Election Day, many were asked how they would have voted if the election match-up were between Hillary Clinton and John McCain rather than Barack Obama and McCain. 52 percent said they would have backed the former Democratic candidate; 41 percent would have voted for McCain, wider than Obama’s 7-point margin over McCain. If America had woken up last Tuesday morning and magically found Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot in lieu of Barack Obama, might she have won by 11 points? Perhaps. She ...

This was our candidate
Alarming News — ... The smaller people are simply not allowed to talk to the press. And yet no one on the McCain campaign caught this? It was symptomatic of what was wrong with the campaign. They spent all this time on his biography (which, by the way, never ever ever ever ever wins elections) and what a bi-partisan he was, but they couldn't keep control of information coming out of the campaign. I've said it before, we deserved to lose. That doesn't mean Obama deserved to win (the story today about how Hillary would have won by a larger margin does not surprise me at all) but the McCain ...

Dreaming Is Free
Opinionator — Hmmm ….. “As voters left the polls on Election Day, many were asked how they would have voted if the election match-up were between Hillary Clinton and John McCain rather than Barack Obama and McCain. Fifty-two percent said they would have backed the former Democratic candidate; 41 percent would have voted for McCain, wider than Obama’s 7-point margin over McCain,” reports Vaughan Ververs of CBS News . I think we can ...

Remainders: Change.gov
Ben Smith's Blog — Tom Watson argues that Obama should make Change.gov more like Change.org. CBS profiles the Clinton-McCain crossover voters. Napolitano doesn't rule out an Attorney General appointment. Stephen Hess lists all the reasons why leaks happen. A depressing rundown of recent racist, anti-Obama vandalism across the country. The Root empathizes with Michelle Obama's difficult school search. Ayers will be on Good Morning America tomorrow to talk about the '08 election. He'll also ...

A nostalgic look at alternate losing strategies
Classical Values — ... takes issue with a number of popular political myths (notably the idea that Sarah Palin is finished), but what really got my attention was an exit poll he linked that I'd never seen before, which confirms my ...
