But hey whatever, if the party nominates Obama I'll vote for McCain.




To do that would only encourage you to use Hillary Math and omit the caucus states, include Michigan where Obama wasn't even on the ballot and include Puerto Rico which is irrelevant in a general election.

But the main reason I left out popular vote is because it's not the way the nominee is decided. Despite the Hillary tantrum promised at the convention.

You don't rewrite the rules week after week in a fashion that will benefit only you. Hillary, in her belief that only she is entitled to be President, does this and threatens this over and over and over. Imagine this being done in a sports contest. The losing team starts crafting new rules in order to upset the clear winner that played by the rules.


She hasn't rewrote a single rule. The rules are the rules. BTW the nominee is also not decided by who has the most pledged delegates. That only gets you the nomination if you get a certain number of them. It's highly unlikely that Obama will be able to do that. If he does he wins but if he doesn't then it goes to whoever has the most delegates at the convention I believe. There the supers can use a variety of factors to pick. It may be something silly like more people having actually voted for Hillary or something much more important like Obama's lopsided Idaho win that netted him more delegates with a few thousand votes than a couple of big swing states that Hillary won by over a hundred thousand. Just keep hoping that those supers don't think to much about the upcoming general & things like electoral votes & winner take all rules.

Fair play!
