How did he do in those recent primaries? Not so good from what I hear. And votes count a lot more than polls.
He did quite well,he won in April http://content.usatoday.com/communi...clinches-democratic-nomination/1#.T7xZN1KVO9t Apr 04, 2012 It's official: Obama clinches Democratic nomination It's official: Barack Obama will be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee in 2012. Of course, we always expected President Obama to be the nominee. But he still had to enter his name in Democratic primaries and caucuses in order to rack up the necessary convention delegates. Last night, after virtually unopposed victories in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia, Obama clinched a majority, CNN reported. Quite a contrast to four years ago, when Obama won an epic primary battle over Hillary Rodham Clinton, now his secretary of State. Also a contrast to the still-contested Republican nomination battle, which Obama has enjoyed from afar. The president will formally accept the Democratic nomination Sept. 6 at the party convention in Charlotte, N.C.
From Karl Roves site Methodology For each state, the map uses the average of all public telephone polls (internet polls are not included in the average) taken within 30 days of the most recent poll available in each state. For example, if the most recent poll in Ohio was taken on April 15, 2012, the average reflected on the map includes all polls conducted between March 15 and April 15, 2012. States within a three-point lead for the Republican or Democratic candidate are classified as toss-ups; states between a five-to-eight-point lead for the Republican or Democratic candidate are classified as "lean" for that candidate; states outside the eight-point lead are allocated to the respective party. Please note: for some states, the most recent polls available at this time are up to one year old and other states with no polling yet available have been classified Republican or Democrat based on their 2008 results.

Actually, if capitalism were working, we wouldn't be in the present situation. "But," you say, "we're not practicing capitalism, it's been corrupted!" Hey, I've heard that argument before, about communism. : ) Anyway, if it has been corrupted, then it's not strong enough to work. Ahem, pardon me, I'm reading Nietzsche tonight, please continue.
