How will Obama carry the caucus states in the Gen. Election?

If Obama wins the nominee for The Democrats how does he plan to carry those states he won by caucus votes? When it comes to caucuses, they do not accurately represent the will of the people. It is a smaller group an since it is harder to find out were to vote at one of those, not as many people got to speak their mind. Second those states he won the caucus votes in are "RED" states and will go Republican come Gen. Election. Now if you take away those 12 or so states ( which is 1\2 of his wins) and factor in he did not win in the states that Democrats need to carry in the Gen. Election to beat the Republicans. He is going to fall short both with Popular Vote and Electeral votes.

Update:

It is nice to see that there are still intelligent people out there that understand what my Question has asked. It is going to be hard to choose just one answer for the best one.

    All those states Obama has won will go to McCain in the general election. Also the swing states (Ohio, FLorida), are the ones you have to win the win the election. Hillary has won all. Those states will go to McCain as wel..

    Hillary is the only Dem with any chance at all.

    Hillary has no longer placed plenty attempt into prevailing the small states. i'm uncertain why. somebody talked approximately it as pseudo-campaigning. i think of her election chairman concept she develop into so a ways forward interior the polls that she could merely decide for the large states. i do no longer think of she outfitted a huge floor community in evaluation to Obama. Early on, Obama worked out a small state campaign formula that he could reflect in each and every state. Hillary needs a extra suitable small state campaign formula yet now's slightly previous by way of get began. If Hillary has a million/2 the money Obama has, she will put in a million/2 the attempt and he or she wasn't doing that. Had she executed it, she probably does not be in such undesirable shape on the instant. She finally visited a small state and it made a 4% distinction. What she needs to function are the floor troops mandatory to get electorate to the polls. Obama has an spectacular floor troop physique of suggestions interior the small states. It does not artwork to boot interior the large states. His troops truly touch each and every small state voter. they are in a position to't try this interior the large states.

    He wont. There is no caucus in the General Elections, he will lose those states to the Republicans lke the democrats always do. You young voters dont understand the concept of RED STATES and BLUE STATES. 90% of the states NOBAMA carried are RED STATES and will vote RED in the General.

    He won't.

    Furthermore, he has now probably lost all chance of carrying some of the Red States that the Democrats had a good chance of turning Blue, like VA, MO and Iowa, because of some of the stuff coming out.

    The Wright/Ayers/typical white people/clinging to guns and bibles/bitter stuff is going to make those people see him as a far-left radical elitist liberal.

    Some of the Battleground States will tip Red easily because they have large populations of Regular Americans who that "bitter"stuff doesn't sit well with.

    At 24, I suppose I would be considered a young voter. I understand electoral math fairly well, which is why I can't believe that Obama is going to be the nominee. People say it's not a big deal. It's THE deal.

    Not again...
