"Popular vote" in a process that is 30% caucuses in completely meaningless. Frequently no actual vote counts are reported, and when they are they are frequently just estimates.

And what to do in Texas where people were able to vote in both the straight vote and the caucus and overlap is not total but also not zero.

Yes, which is why Clinton's had to continually alter her story. First it was counting every state, including Michigan and Florida (only votes cast for Clinton in Michigan, ignoring the votes for "other" because Obama wasn't on the ballot). Then she started cherry-picking which caucus states to count. And now that the only deal offered was to count the "undecided" Michigan votes for Obama, she's thrown those out. And her latest version she's chosen to ignore the rest of the caucus states.

Did you know that if you only count the votes of people who support Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton has 100% of the popular vote!!

Drudge is hinting that Wednesday will mark the end of her campaign.

And if Drudge says it, well you know it's true....

I certainly hope so!

So a little early, but I'll forget to post this later.

I'm going to revive this thread in three years when Obama's hidden hypocricy has been revealed in full. I'm not saying I don't like him. But if he's going to be president of the united states, he's going to be a hypocrite. I'd just rather it be out in the open before the election. I'd find that rather refreshing.

I disagree. How on earth can we trust anyone who is so lousy at duplicity with state secrets? The better someone is at hiding something, the better prepared they are to run this country. We already know we can't trust Hillary- but we don't know about Obama. The longer he is able to hide the skeletons from everyone, the more I like him.;)


(Of course, there is that slight little chance that maybe, just maybe he is on the up and up..... I suppose you are arguing for voting in the devil you know, but in that case we may as well stick with the Repubs.)

innerSpaceman 06-02-2008 05:31 PM

Well, we may just get that chance. Despite the lousy campaign he is running, McCain is going to beat Obama unless things get horribly worse in this country.


I don't know which of those lousy options to hope for.

Huh?


ETA: Did a little more digging and found that a bit of the URL was lopped off. This is what she meant to post:

Thanks Kevy.

We have a temperamental firewall at work. I can view images on the original page, but when I post it, it doesn't display.

So the rumor floating around this morning is that Hillary will "concede that Obama has the needed number of delegates to secure the nomination" or something like that. Not a full pull-out from the race, but the beginning of a graceful exit.
