You can only say that Clinton has won the popular vote...

...if you ignore the will expressed by the caucus states, many of which do not even record a popular vote. And among which, Obama has a clear majority.

And this business about Florida is bs, pure and simple. No proper campaign was run there - the results are random noise, and good for nothing except giving Clinton a prayer. Of course Clinton would do better there because her name recognition is much higher than Obama's. As of last January and certainly before that, he needed to make his case in a state to get any votes.

Official Clinton policy about Florida (well it used to be, anyway):
"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process.... We believe the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role. Thus, we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calendar."
