Ahem. Must I remind you that the primary is all about proportional delegates, not popular votes?

Ahem. Must I remind you that the primary is all about proportional delegates, not popular votes?
Or do I need to hit you with a Cluebat?



Thank you.

When we get to General Election mode in a few days, we can certainly discuss popular votes and how it will impact the GE.

In the meantime.... SHUT THE HELL UP, CLINTON SUPPORTERS WHO ARE CLINGING ON TO POPULAR SUPPORT - YOU FOLKS ARE LOOKING MORE AND MORE DELUSIONAL!

1. Popular Vote™ is for Homecoming Queen and American Idol.
Not the democratic nominee.

4. The benefit of our system, over the republican system...
Is that it allowed Obama to build up significant support in states that are often ignored by both parties - many of those states are borderline red, and just need a nudge to push them (or their down ticket candidates) in to the blue. I think the foundation Obama built will go a long way in securing the GE Win.

5. Don't you explain Reality to Hillary supporters
Hillary dictates reality - no one else, she sets the rules, decides what events did or didn't happen and what kind of weather we are going to have...

Now stop being sexist

7. During MSNBC's coverage earlier
Edited on Sun Jun-01-08 05:22 PM by Patsy Stone
Timmy said that there will be a big push in the next 48 hours by Clinton supporters on message boards and pro-Clinton bloggers to push the popular vote Hail Mary. That's because it's over after Tuesday and no one will be listening to them until, and if, they dredge it up in November.

Which, if you ask me, will be HRC's Norma Desmond moment.

"I am big! It's the pictures that got small!"

8. It's been pointed out here time & time again but don't blame the supporters too much...
Fact is, they're supporting someone who's been going around spreading a myth, hepping up folks to continue to support her based on a political slogan that is a complete falsehood about how our presidential nomination & electoral system works. If I ever needed proof of how poorly our educational system prepares people to be citizens in this country, the past few weeks have proven it.
