  • Popular Vote Totals in Aggregate Mean Nothing...

    ... and Hillary Clinton is still due to become the Democratic Party nominee for the Presidential run this Fall. If Democratic Party stalwarts fail to understand that Hillary and Bill Clinton are their best package to run against McCain in this 2008 election season, then welcome to another 8, 16, or 32 years of Republicans in the White House, ...

  • Obama should quite? NOT!!!

    I don't beleive that there is any reason that Obama should quite or even be asked to quit. He is the best choice for the Democratic party and the only chance we have of beating McCain in November. Just because HRC has an agenda of her own which has no concern for either the Democratic party or the American people which stops her from pulling out ...

  • The "Popular Vote" Measurement Is UnDemocratic; Here's Why.

    Putting aside Michigan and Florida for a moment, which have unknowable results without a fair re-vote -- the popular vote itself is a bizarre concept in this hybrid caucus/primary year. I have seen these calculations showing Obama with about a 700,000 vote lead, but there cannot be a ''total'' popular vote calculated when some states use a caucus ...

  • Dem Popular Vote: Wow . . . it's real close!

    7,374,222 7,374,222 So, I was complaining about the lack of data on total vote counts from yesterday's primaries. Using CNN's up to date numbers, I did it myself. Note that not all precincts are in, but generally states have reported 90+ percent (most in the high 90s). So, as of now, where we are in Feb. 5 caucus goer and voter ...

  • Re: Popular Vote Pledge

    No one is reporting a total running vote count. Why not? Wouldn't a running tally of the total numbers/percentages of voters and how the voted so far give us a clearer picture of who is or is not leading in the Democratic primary? Right now we see that the delegates are looking close, but where is the popular vote? Why is no one tallying this? ...

  • Popular Vote Pledge

    Tomorrow, as the race for the Democratic nomination tightens between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, the likelihood of a split between the delegate count and the popular vote increases. In Nevada, for example, where Clinton led Obama by 6 percentage points, Obama won the majority of delegates 13 to 12. With a tight race, it seems equally ...
