24 states VOTE + overseas: but all that matters is California

[Eurobabe]

according to the media. :eyes:

Pathetic spin.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

1. Yeah, after all CA is only 20% of the entire country

[Eurobabe]

3. CNN is spinning the shit out of this meme.

[cali]

11. um. no. more like 13% or 14% but don't let facts get in the way

of your hyperbole.

[Lucinda]

2. What are they saying?

No tv access.

[Eurobabe]

5. CA is the big kahuna

nothing else matters, in a nutshell.

[jackson_dem]

9. Everything else was a wash

Hill's California win will give her the delegate lead out of tonight.

[rodeodance]

14. but MASS win was so so SWEET

[scheming daemons]

18. No... it really won't.......

.....the math points to a narrow delegate lead for Obama.

[RummyTheDummy]

20. God you're such a simpleton.

It's amazing to watch though.

[Mistwell]

4. Spin?

Spin is you posting this over and over again despite it being inaccurate.

Clinton won more than California, and with proportional voting as opposed to winner take all it is an undeniable fact that she won more than you are claiming. Clinton did better than polls like Zogby were predicting. Give her the props she earned - she did pretty good today.

[Eurobabe]

7. No dude, what pisses me off is that California

is being treated like it's own goddamn country. Chew on that.

[Mistwell]

19. It's the 6th largest economy on the planet!

If California were a country, it would be the 6th largest economy in the world. And relative to the U.S., it has over 20% of the population.

It deserves a lot of attention.

[topaz_eyes]

24. It practically is. nt

[jackson_dem]

6. It accounts for about a quarter of Democratic delegates awarded today

With everything else a tie it makes sense to focus on California as a kind of tiebreaker.

[Eurobabe]

8. Tell that to the people who are still waiting to vote

next week and in March. :hi:

[jackson_dem]

13. That has no bearing on Super Tuesday

Who won Super Tuesday? Everything else was a wash in delegates. California accounts for about 25% of the delegates and Hillary won. That gives Hill kind of a tiebreaker and makes her the nominal "winner" of Super Tuesday.

[jillan]

10. omg - this is going to be tough.

You and I on opposite sides.

No matter what - I still respect you in the morning :hug:

[Eurobabe]

15. Pirhana, I love ya

No worries, I don't hate Clinton, I just can't stand the disruptors on the boards. I honestly think many of them are campaign operatives or trolls. Who else would benefit from such infighting?

:grouphug: Bidenista Clinton supporters!!

[rosetta627]

12. You're on drugs

Or should be.

[Eurobabe]

16. And I should wash your mouth out with soap newbie!

Talk to me after you reach 1000. Bye :hi:

[rosetta627]

26. That's a real disincentive to reaching 1000...

:evilgrin:

[loveangelc]

17. I dont see the media making that argument really...

[AJH032]

21. It's not as if California was ALL she won

sure, if Obama had won the other 23 states, CA would be irrelevant. But come on...

[Garbo 2004]

22. With 370 delegates on "Super Tuesday," CA's going to get media attention, especially

with the polls closing hours after the East Coast. (The CA primary used to be in June.) Now CA has an impact, along with other states, but the race is still on. :)

[cottonseed]

23. It's an easy choice for our media's lazy analysis.

Actually, I think they got tired and went to bed before things started to get interesting in California. It's going to tighten up quite a bit by morning.

[krkaufman]

25. That *is* ridiculous. They really can't wrap their minds around ...

... proportional allocation.
