2. McCain could very easily win 30 states and still lose the GE
Number of states doesn't really mean anything.

There's a reason the delegate count is neck and neck despite Obama winning a bunch of small states.

6. Land doesn't vote. People do. What are the popular vote totals?
Bush won about 30 states both times. Does that mean he "won" against Gore? He won more states right?

9. I'd be interesting in knowing how many of Hillary's "winning" totals you'd have to add up
in Nevada, Arkansas, Okalahoma, Arizona, etc to equal the 1.75 MILLION Obama supporters in California, a state he "lost." :shrug:

10. Tis true, Obama is also leading in BOTH "The Popular Vote" & "People Delegate" counts.
;)

However, it's not over by a long shot, so please stay FIRED-UP fellow Obama supporters?!?

Go Obama! :patriot: :hi:

11. Then why are they almost tied for delegate count?
There's a difference from winning California than winning, say, Maine or DC.

12. They are not almost tied, unless you add in super-delegates, which makes it closer (eom)
