Frankly, Obama sucks in all the key demographics that Democrats need to win except for independents to win the GE
- suburban areas

He's going to win the general election in a big way. have you even bothered to look at his primary turnout numbers? Have you seen the stark contrast between him and McCain?

Did you see his Virginia numbers tonight?  He got 177,883 more votes than John McCain and Mike Huckabee combined. He is going to change the entire playing field in the general election.

Primary turnout does not equal general election turnout.

You're right, but the numbers have been like this in nearly every state. The difference in energy/momentum on the Democratic side compared to the Republican side is HUGE.

I think Obama will have a great shot to win VA in the general election.
