'Missouri, bell-weather state'
Updated on 04 February 2008
More4 News is in Missouri, a classic swing state, asking the non-aligned swing voters, the real deciders in the US elections, who will be the next most powerful person on earth.
Everyone is focusing on who's going to win the primaries, but actually that election is decided by narrow groups (party members) who may lose sight of the big picture: picking the candidate most likely to win the only race that counts, the actual presidency.
So forget for a moment who primary-polls say will win. Who should the respective parties pick if they want to win the presidency?
Our anecdotal discoveries tie in with the theoretical polls, which conclude Obama is unbeatable, but Clinton would lose to McCain.
So they are the two who, should they win, would produce the closest fight.
