So much for that popular vote thing...
And a new addition, some "fun" with POPULAR VOTE numbers...
Without MI/FL:
Obama: 14,447,566
Clinton: 13,965,192

With FL, but NOT MI:
Obama: 15,016,607
Clinton: 14,822,400

With MI/FL, including "uncommitted" for Obama:
Obama: 15,254,369
Clinton: 15,150,551

With MI/FL, giving Obama 0 in MI and Clinton 328,000-plus (the only metric which gives her a lead):
Clinton: 15,150,551
Obama: 15,016,607

3. I go with number Two
Surrendering Number Three to compensate for Number Two not having been competed in person by either candidate. I believe Clinton would have won both states in a fully contested re-vote.

It's close and inexact, but the primaries aren't over yet.

I'm not sure that every site has the same numbers, are you?
