1. Nah, she would only be 50 up as opposed to 6-10.
That's not a win by any means.

12. If both Obama and Hillary were in those states campaigning it'd be close still.
I don't see her having more than half of them.

13. Last delegate count: Clinton..582 Obama...485 = +97 Clinton
Obama's numbers are almost all from Caucus states..

3. If Michigan had followed the rules, Obama would have won it,
and in FL it would have been much closer. Too bad the Democratic Party of each of those states disenfranchised their own voters. It's their own damned fault.

18. One in three votes in CA was cast when Clinton had a 20 point
advantage, and before Edwards dropped out of the race. That head start was hard to overcome. I wonder how many of those wish they had waited.

14. From where comes the assertion that she would have won it if openly contested?

17. Michigan would have gone to Clinon regardless, it's just like Ohio.

She has a lot of support in MIchigan. I lived there prior to moving to Arizona, and still have property there.

Oakland county is a stronghold for Clinton.

19. I am positive Florida would also go for Clinton. There are alot of older voters, and early mailed
in ballots which favored Clinton and a high percentage of Latinos vote.

16. Voters chose her over uncommited. If they didn't want her, they would have voted uncommited.

5. I don't think it is realistic to say that because of the lack of campaigning
in those two states.

11. well, There are also superdelegates, and Hillary won almost one million votes in Florida, thats alot
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 08:37 AM by AGirl
of votes and delegates and super delegates there. She would have been a clear frontrunner going into SuperTuesday. In turn, she would have won even bigger in SuperTuesday and along with more delegates and Superdelegates. But it's okay, she will win anyways, it is just going to be a harder fight.
