Jennifer Rubin is wrong

ajmalkov: “Are you really trying to suggest that Obama can “win” the states you list?”
No. I did not suggest that. I stated that Rubin’s understanding of Obama’s base is limited to his primary performance and can’t be used to measure his potential in the general election.
In fact the point of my post was that many of Obama’s states are NOT dominated by members of his supposed young, black “elitist” base.
Rubin is simply repeating Hillary’s failed argument. I’m not sure why she even wrote this column.
Party primaries and general elections are two completely different ballgames. There is no valid comparison.
