Hillary's popular vote count proven to be completely bogus per ABC

According to ABC, the popular vote count that Hillary is using is based on absolutely no merit. If you do the popular vote correctly, she isn't ahead even counting Florida and Michigan. We need to spread this word so that people will stop believing her "misstatement" about being ahead according to this metric.

"The Holes in Clinton's "Popular Vote" Argument
May 20, 2008 9:58 AM

It's one of Sen. Hillary Clinton's last arguments -- she's ahead in the popular vote, she should be the nominee, even though she has won fewer delegates.

"Right now more people have voted for me than have voted for my opponent,” Clinton told Kentuckians recently. “More people have voted for me than for anybody ever running for president before."

One problem with these claims -- they don't appear to be true.

The problem is not Clinton mendacity. The problem is that popular vote tallies are woefully wrong.

The Iowa Democratic Party reported that 236,000 voters turned out for the Iowa caucuses on January 3. So why does the Associated Press tally only record 1,677 votes?

ABC News' Polling Director Gary Langer takes a look at this issue, and with his team attempts a good-faith effort to assess what the real popular vote numbers likely were.

The bottom line: Sen. Barack Obama likely won the popular vote as well -- even with those disputed contests in Michigan and Florida counting.

Anyone concerned with what the real popular vote tallies were -- and not just bragging rights or talking points -- should check out Langer's analysis."

Its over Obama. Quit allready.

The first numbers they list include Florida and Michigan. As of 3 weeks ago, they only listed the numbers that include FL and MI. I dont think they are in a position to judge.

giving her a much higher total

so I am not quite sure what the purpose of the deceptive meme is from the Clinton campaign point of view.

Simply to cause hard feelings among the deluded faithful and damage party unity?

she's become such an embarrassment.

they get a popular vote lead of 83K for Obama, not far off abc's number.

Hillary's claim is as dishonest as the rest of her life.

yeah... you can even ask my beautiful wife, morgan fairchild.
