McCain Tickets Beat Possible Obama Tickets in Kentucky

It appears that no matter who John McCain chooses for his running mate, he'd beat Barack Obama and his V.P. nominee in Kentucky. A new Survey USA/WHAS 11 shows how McCain and Obama would fair with various running mates.

It's not a pretty picture for Obama, though an Obama-John Edwards ticket might have an outside shot at winning the Bluegrass State, according to the poll. Survey USA did not ask Kentucky voters about an Obama-Hillary Clinton ticket. I know, I know, I asked the same thing....WHY NOT???? Well, the pollsters think it's unlikely that Obama will pick his democratic rival for the number two slot. They're probably right but we'd all like to see how an Obama-Clinton ticket might fare against a McCain-??? ticket. Here are the numbers and definitions:

Sebelius is Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebilius
Rendell is Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell
Hagel is Nebraska U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel
Pawlenty is Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty

I find it very sad, to think that the popular vote is ignored in this country, we're supposed to be a "democratic society", but how can we be when the public votes and yet it's the "Super Delgates" that truly have the power to decide,
who gets to represent who the people want?
