Default ? for the democrats

not trying to start a political battle here but this is a legitimate question i have...

in 2000 presidential election, democrats were up in arms that Al Gore one the popular vote but lost because of electorates...

right now, in the Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton is winning the popular vote count but Obama is winning the delegate count. Why are so many people rooting for him when she is winning more votes? :dunno:

I could beat either of them hands down. I have the simple advantage.

if you take out Florida and Michigan, yes.

the irony i see here is that Florida is the state that caused all of the problems in 2000

Besides the MI/FL fiasco, I think that the contest so far is fair. If there were a real primary vote in MI/FL, Obama would be ahead in total popular vote without doubt.

And yes, this primary is a fiasco. The DNC is kissing FL goodbye by not counting their vote. I think Obama will still win MI, but FL is a huge state to forfeit.

Legalize and tax certain drugs and prostitution, then use that money to fund better public education, so the USA as an entirety will be less ignorant :canada: :usa:

I think that you're smarter than overstating the obvious.
