MT-Mason-Dixon: Obama defeats Clinton easily

[Stranger in a strange land]

Does anyone know why the Midwest/Northwest likes Obama so much? That's been a real surprise for me in this campaign.

I mean, look at the Clinton favorability ratings in that poll.  29 - 50. Yikes.

It has to do with him being the best choice for President and her being a lying, deceptive banshee.

You can use that as a reason for any candidate winning any primary.

Seriously, why is it that the western states like Obama so much, or rather, why do they hate Hillary?

Western states tend to like Obama's message much more than Clinton. They are much more affluent on the whole and I don't think that lots of people connected at all with Clinton's recent message. Also Clinton looks like a lying, scumbag to many Democrats out east, and not to mention Bill Clinton was never really popular out west. Many western states also have lots of latte liberals as well.

yes, also these states are very white and have little racial tension. Clinton is seen as pro-big government, while Obama isn't.
