If only the Democratic races were "winner-take-all".....
...Obama would still be winning.

;-)


Obama:

IA(45)+SC(45)+AK(13)+ID(18)+ND(13)+DE(15)+UT(23)+KS(32)+CT(48)+AL(52)+CO(55)+MO(72)+MN(72)+GA(87)+IL(153)+VI(3)+NE(24)+LA(56)+WA(78)+ME(24)+DC(15)+MD(70)+VA(83)+WI(74)+HI(20)

Total: 1190 + 169 Superdelegates = 1359

Clinton:

NH(22)+NV(25)+Samoa(3)+NM(26)+OK(38)+AR(35)+AZ(56)+TN(68)+MA(93)+NJ(107)+NY(232)+CA(370)

Total: 1075 + 239 Superdelegates = 1314



Spin on that, Hillbots.

2. The O-Bot culties still like to pretend FL and MI do not exist
of course. :eyes:

which if the empty suit actually wins the nomination, will likely be his downfall.

3. Umm.. we're not pretending... they ACTUALLY DON'T COUNT!
See.. because, the DNC told them they don't count. Not because Obama doesn't want them to count. Not because Hillary does want them to count.

They don't count, because they were told if they moved up, they wouldn't count. That's why. Perhaps a new caucus or primary will happen in each state - that would be fair.. that would count.

Duh. :eyes:

9. Then you concede that your tally is artificial
and not actually representative of anything other than your own narrow-minded agenda?

That's just what I wanted to hear, thanks.

5. Yeah... we agree with what the Hillary Campaign said in September.....

"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process. And we believe the DNC’s rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role.Thus, we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calendar."

- Hillary Clinton Campaign statement, September 1, 2007

I guess the Hillary campaign are O-Bot culties also.

4. Of course, you as an Obamabot don't include FL, forget Michigan, but she won Florida hands down.

6. Read post #5...... Hillary is apparently an Obamabot too!
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 11:23 AM by scheming daemons
...since she signed a pledge saying that she agreed that Florida and Michigan don't count.

8. Why end there? Why not go back to a smoke filled room
to decide our candidate?

That you want to disenfranchise so many voters.... what are you doing in the Democratic party?

Personally, I find problems with results like Nevada, and perhaps others, where the winner of the delegates is different from the winner of the popular votes. Kinda shade of Gore Bush, no?
