2. Is he talking about Hillary's popular vote fantasy
Edited on Wed May-21-08 03:36 PM by rocknation
where she ignores the caucuses but includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories that won't be voting in the GE?

6. Exactly. The votes Obama received in those states count, too. There were record turnouts in caucus
states this year, too.

10. It's about time!
I can't believe it's taken this long for someone in the corporate media to bring up the caucus states when discussing the popular vote. Every time the popular vote is mentioned, caucus states need to be brought into the conversation.

Thanks, David, for bringing this up!

15. And, of course, then there is the primacaucus state of Texas.
Where HRC eked out a win in the primary vote but will have fewer delegates than Obama because of the caucuses -- which were attended by an amazing proportion of the primary voters.
