I'm not saying you said we should disregard the caucuses. I am saying that your popular vote count does not include the popular votes from the caucus states. I am saying that those states favored Obama. I am saying that your popular vote count is cooked. If the idea of popular vote has any value at all in the dem primary (and it is the Clinton folks who claim it does), then you need a way of counting the popular vote that does not disregard those caucus states that favored Obama. Otherwise, claims that the count favors Hill are kind of silly.

I'm right there with you on the despair I'm starting to feel about this mess. Poor Buck seems to have lost his mind entirely. He's starting to sound like TB in a bad tax season.

As for the last part, c'mon: Obama wasn't even on the ballot in MI. The results from both of those primaries was just random noise because the candidates did not campaign in those states.

        But to disregard those states is to disenfranchise those voters. - alcaray - 5/5/2008 9:35:22 PM

        If Republicans gave a rat's rump about "popular vote" then they would not have winner-take-all primaries. - alcaray - 5/6/2008 12:23:00 AM
