Hillary actually won the popular vote, if you count Michigan – even if you give Obama the “undecided” votes. However, according to Real Clear Politics, officials didn’t release the numbers in Iowa, Nevada, Washington & Maine. Those states would likely give the edge to Obama, unless you count Michigan and don’t give Obama the “undecided.”
So if you do the Democratic thing and only count actual votes for actual candidates, Hillary wins. She flat out wins.

AGAIN don't people check this stuff? Overseas delegates get 1/2 a vote each. (Guam, Virgin Islands ect...) Further, each Michigan and Florida delegate only gets 1/2 a vote.
How many of Hitlery votes are Republican crossovers from Rush Chaos!!???
Hitlery will not go quietly into the night.
Actually, that is counting those votes. All of them. Hillary wins unless you rename Obama “undecided.”
Isn’t that the truth! I love how they all said in 2004...”count every vote!” Which we weren’t opposed to but yet, just the other day, the mantra in Florida and Michigan was: “...your vote counts, but only half!” HA!
Will there be an apology forthcoming to GWB???
Ha ha ha! So did Gore. Suck it up, cupcake.
It depends on who is doing the counting. There are not just super delegates, but other “unpledged” delegates involved. Many of the ones “committed” to Obama now were originally allocated to Clinton... their entire process is screwie.
Re-count!!!! Real Democrats should insist that every vote has been counted. If they don't, they are nothing be a bunch of weasily hypocrits.
Reagan won the popular vote in 1976 against Gerlad Ford, and that is despite the fact that he wasn’t even on the ballot in much of NY and Pennsylvania! Ford stillgot the nomination.
It didn’t feel like springtime yet and the cold and rain outside added to the gloom inside. There was despair and doom so thick it sucked the air out of the room. Those inside the room were only the insiders. The brains of the Hillary for President campaign. They discussed their options and deliberated the only two paths to the presidency.
1. Win the Democrat nomination
2. Take the VP slot.
They determined that even if Hillary wins the nomination, she is doomed in November because she has lost the black vote and her negatives are the highest of any major candidate in history. She would not only lose in the general election but her negatives would create a firestorm that would drag down the moderate RATs in their congressional districts. Her mere presence would motivate the right in great numbers.
But thanks to OPERATION CHAOS, there is another alternative. Although the RAT nomination was decided on Big Tuesday, Hillary’s win in Texas and Penn enabled her to stay in the race and stay highly relevant. Without those wins, she would have just faded away. But with Obama at the head of the ticket, the black vote is assured, far-left America-hating liberals are appeased, and the historical angle will motivate many left-leaning moderates. Add Hillary to the ticket and the women vote will be secured. With the unwavering support of a 90% RAT media, it’s a winning ticket. So what if she has to ride the coattails of a successful male…she’s done it before.
On January 20, 2009, Hillary will be sworn in as the vice president, and only a heart beat away from the oval office.
Then on that fateful day in June 2009, President Obama will stroll into Ft. Marcy Park, seeking solace and silence as he contemplates how he could have been so wrong about the terrorist who just bombed another US Embassy. At some point his grief takes over and he decides that he can no longer lead this country. Although he is left-handed, he takes a handgun in his right hand and with extreme accuracy, fires two rounds into the back of his head, without leaving any traces of blood or body matter.
The next morning, Hillary stands before Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr to be sworn in, with a gleaming Bill Clinton standing by her side. Her swear in is followed by her first speech as President Hillary. “As your President I just wanna say, Rush, be careful what you ask for…”
What about if all delegates got a full vote? What kind of Democrat believes that some people's vote only counts as half????
Yeah, and the NY Yankees outscored the Pittsburgh Pirates 55-27 in the seven-game World Series of 1960. But, the Pirates won 4 of those 7 games, and, by rule, were declared World Champions.
Rush wants the Dems to win so he'll have four years of higher ratings.
> Not if the DNC takes half the popular votes from Michigan and Florida away from her. All by the party rules of course...
The party doesn’t take “votes” away... only delegates. Regardless of how delegates are apportioned, a vote is a vote.
Are you seriously suggesting that overseas territories should get a full vote? Seriously?
BUT, even if you did give all the delegates a full vote, it still wouldn't make a difference. Obama still had the pledged delegate lead. Rush's efforts notwithstanding.
