That will stop some complaints from the other side.

1. That would put her behind by 500,000 in popular vote.
Still not winning. And don't forget all the caucus states that went for Obama...

2. If you want to be HONEST, you could say a 12 delegate win
Since that is what is used to measure victory

5. Not 12. Right now it's 10 and it may be even less when all the votes are finally in.
Check out TheGreenPapers.

9. How about we say fraud and destroyed Dem Party
That's what putting MI & FL into the mix will do.

11. I don't think our party is destroyed no matter how you add those two states
I'm totally optimistic for our chances in the fall when we're up against that guy.

The sky is not falling.

15. Agreed
Even with all the infighting and focus on the Democrats negatives, McCain can't pull ahead of either of them in GE polling with Obama doing better than Hillary at this time.

Obama - http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

Hillary - http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_clinton-224.html

Even in the key swings states both beat him or they are close (one exception being FL but Obama has yet to campaign there).

16. Just look at the total votes for Dems vs. GOP
Even in red state strongholds like Texas we turned out more than double the voters than they did. We shouldn't underestimate McCain, but I feel pretty good about our chances in the fall.

19. Yes it really is
I honestly don't know how to get it through you Hillary Hardheads - the rest of us aren't stupid. We can hear "we all know Michigan won't count" and "I won Michigan" and understand the contradiction and the reason for the contradiction - ELECTION FRAUD. She wants to steal the election. Now if you think that won't destroy the party, you're as delusional as she is.

20. actually I'm an Obama supporter
I just don't think that this will be the cataclysmic event that kills our Donkey. After this all gets sorted out I do believe that we'll be just fine.
