[ReagansRaiders]

According to Real Clear Politics' running vote totals, if you count the votes cast in FL and MI (regardless of what the DNC does with the delegates for those states), then Hillary Clinton now LEADS Obama in the popular vote total.

Don't Dems say "count every vote" all the time and that the super delegates should follow the will of the people as seen in whoever has received the most popular votes?

[Signalman]

Thanks, Rush. Thanks Operation Chaos. Thanks to you, the Witch may very well be our next CIC. The best laid plans...

As I said on the other thread: in theory, the delegates should determine which delegations will be seated---and that would be whoever leads in delegates when it comes time to seat FL and MI will rule.

In reality, there is NO WAY that the Dem delegates will dare elevate Obama as the nominee if Hillary leads in both the pop vote and the main battleground states, regardless of the "delegate math." So it will go to the courts . . . where Obama will move to block Hillary by citing . . .

Bush v. Gore. Suddenly, every liberal on the planet will be gushing about what a BRILLIANT decision Bush v. Gore was.

Except Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in one of those states - was it Mi?

Only the Dems that this will benefit say this. The ones that it hurts remain mysteriously silent.

The one I linked to said Obama 14,397,506 ;49.2% Hillary 13,896,368; 47.5%

I fail to see the relevance of this (I know the Klinton Kamp is trying to make it relevant; it's all they have).

These votes are votes for Clinton / O'bama AGAINST O'bama / Clinton.

Making a connection between votes for Clinton against O'bama and votes for Clinton against McCain is pointless, isn't it?

Oops..nevermind

Of course not.

Dems (and the MSM) want their 'dream candidate', Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) Obama as their candidate. Since he is even further to the left than Slick Hillie (who would have ever thought that was even possible), Obama is THEIR MAN!!!

Popular vote only matters if it benefits the MOST LIBERAL candidate.

If it wasn't for double standards--liberals wouldn't have any!

[Jay777]

Calm down Bob. Her chances are slim, and we can beat her just as easily as Obama. We can beat either one of these candidates, and the longer their race lingers the easier beating them will be.

[JSDude1]

By your logic you prefer Osamanation?

[ReagansRaiders]

That is if you don’t count FL and MI votes.

[MtnClimber]

If the Democrat nominee selection comes down to the convention, do you think Obama will get Bill Ayers to build him some bombs?

Game 1: Yankees 27; Red Sox 0
Game 2: Yankees 0; Red Sox 1
Game 3: Yankees 0; Red Sox 1
Game 4: Yankees 0; Red Sox 1
Game 5: Yankees 0; Red Sox 1

Yankees win the series 27-4, right?

[RedRover]

A fun fact to know and tell.

[Jay777]

He wasn’t on the ballot in Florida I know. Its unlikely these states will get any delegates seated. Either way, the chaos of the dems ripping one another apart is to our benefit.

[mnehring]

It was going to be the Witch, Osama, or JohnnyMac, might as well cause as much chaos as possible instead of letting the Witch or Osama walk into the nomination.

[Fee]

The blacks and young people would be pissed if Clinton wins the nomination.

Clinton: ‘Be careful what you wish for, Rush’
