We are talking about registered democrats voting for democrats (correct me if I am wrong, but none of the states you mentioned have caucuses). Just because Hillary beat Obama in those swing states doesn't mean she would beat McCain in November if she were to win the Democratic nomination. Take Texas for example. Hillary won Texas in the primary, but do you really think a Democrat will win Texas in November?
