Obama winning Caucuses while Hillary's delegates come from Primaries - Does anyone think that's odd?

[pathansen]

Obama has won all of caususes except one, Nevada.
Strange coincidence?
Hillary's delegate votes are almost all coming from the primaries.
Wonder why?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. I find it very odd.

Considering that Obama's won as many primaries as Clinton, and will have won more by the end of the night.

[SteppingRazor]

3. High five.

:thumbsup:


I was just about to post this, practically word for word. :)

[question everything]

34. Primaires with high percentage of black voters (nt)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

35. Oh, right.

Black voters don't count.

What was I thinking?

[fenriswolf]

2. they have won the same amount of primaries

look it up.

[pathansen]

30. I was talking about total number of delegates

[fenriswolf]

31. oh well then ill tell you why most of her votes come

from primaries instead of caucuses, because she only won one caucus.

[George_Bonanza]

4. Whites are closet racists, and women are too scared in caucuses

Duh.

[KAZ]

14. Broad brush much?

[Bicoastal]

18. This actually WAS posted from some "Guerrilla Women" blog not too long ago. nt

[Debi]

32. *snark*

:rofl:

[Exultant Democracy]

5. weird math, I thought they won about the same amount of Primaries, and after today

He will have won more.

[Alexander]

6. Not true. They are tied in primary wins right now.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. What's really odd...

is that he's won as many primaries as she has. :wow:

[sandnsea]

12. Is that people keep repeating this myth!! n/t

[geek tragedy]

8. They're tied in primaries.

Obama should lead in primaries after tonight.

[Blue-Jay]

9. Are you sure that your premise is correct?

[MadHound]

10. Well, as others have pointed out, they've both won the same amount of primaries

As to Obama's winning more caucuses, put it up to having a better ground game, and better overall campaign strategy than Hillary.

[HeraldSquare212]

11. After today, he'll have won more primaries than she has.

as well as winning all of the caucuses except one.

[blm]

13. I think it's odd that so many of you post that LAME-ASS talking point. Tell Pete he needs

to be more subtle.

[David Zephyr]

17. The tone and recklessness of the anti-Obama threads have become amusing to me.

And it only underscores the desperation that the supporters of the Clintons now feel and how alienated they must find themselves from a campaign that has not even given them an inkling of when they might actually ever win another contest.

It's so pathetic that it is funny.

Here's another thread of equal desperation: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=4555804&mesg_id=4555804

21. I suppose the irony of your post is lost on you....

[blm]

25. Like I need ANY talking point from anyone. Mine are anti-corruption points and

the handful of us here who stay on those open government matters don't HAVE a war room where we plot strategy and craft talking points.

[elizm]

15. Another drive-by hit and run post/lie???

Your post is completely false, as everyone has pointed out. Seems you could stop back by and apologize for your ignorance of the truth. Guess not. Thank goodnesss for the ignore button.

40. Most of Obama's primary wins were Open, while Clinton's were Closed or Semi-Open nt

[Bucky]

19. Another coincidence.... every time Obama comes to town, a jewelry store is robbed

...by the mysterious "Green Mosquito." Then Scooby and Velma found the wrapper of a chewing gum brand at two of the crime scenes--the same brand of nicotine gum Barack Obama is using to "kick" his smoking habit!!

OMFG!! Quick, Freddy, set up a trap and we'll catch him when he breaks in tonight!!

[sniffa]

22. He would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you nosey DUers

:rofl:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. That's "meddling" DUers to you, Mr. sniffa nt

[Bucky]

42. Ruh-roh!

Without the Groucho moustache and big floppy bunny ears, thecatburgler looks just like the janitor at Uncle Vinnie's amusement park!!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

44. Curses! My fiendish plot was foiled again! nt

[XemaSab]

20. You think she's tampering with the vote in primaries?

:popcorn:

[Bucky]

43. The implication, I thought, was that Obama was tampering with the caucus voting

[XemaSab]

45. I'm saying that that stupid meme can easily be turned around

especially since for the last 8 years we've heard about how easy voting machines are to tamper with.

Hard to throw a caucus. :eyes:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

23. Another Great Drive-By BS OP!

Congrats!

[liberalnurse]

24. A Caucus doesn't include all voters

as it is for a narrow scope of time to attend; few elderly partcipate due to mobility, limited senses; chronicly ill can't tolerate the strain; then what about child care, coordination of timely transportation to the caucus site....get the picture?

Primaries offer abstentee votes, early voting and at least 12 hours to get to the Polls to cast a vote on election day.

[HeraldSquare212]

38. There was absentee balloting for the Maine caucus.

Besides, caucus results are indicative of the opinions of the entire state.

[paulk]

27. you should have said something to the effect

of why is Hillary winning most of the primaries except where the black vote is giving Obama an obvious advantage. Which are mostly southern states that we aren't going to win in November.

Not that you'll get any of the Obama folks to address the ramifications of this toward the GE.

[asdjrocky]

28. Nevada was a caucus...

At least I think it was. I was there, after all.

[pathansen]

33. Yes, and that was the one exception

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. Not really.

Obama won Nevada.

[Cha]

29. Lie much?

Or what is it called? Spreading misinformation like a m(+!37$)@#3r.

[RoadRage]

37. No.. Obama just WINS. Tonight he'll win 3 primaries.. how will those be discussed?

[Moh96]

39. More like Obama winning all Caucuses while splitting primaries

[Johnny__Motown]

41. Name recognition supporters tend to be soft support, they can't be bothered to caucus
