"This is a race for delegates…It is not a battle for individual states."

[THUNDER HANDS]

As Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson said, "This is a race for delegates…It is not a battle for individual states. As David knows, we are well past the time when any state will have a disproportionate influence on the nominating process."

Funny how the Obama camp was crying about the delegates before. See you Feb 5th!!

Where Clinton shall reign supreme.

2. They said it. That's how they were going to marginalize Obama's victory, if needed.

It just so happens that things went the other way.

But the point is, this is exactly what they were planning to do.

3. well, you have to admit, the early states are all about perception

but since everyone knows that Obama and Clinton will both be in it all the way, that perception doesn't even really matter much now. One delegate out of what - 2300? - is basically a yawn. It turned into a two-person race early, and both have the resources to go all the way, so NV and SC don't mean much, especially as they'll split them.

4. Kind of the way the electoral college vote works

But I would say less than 2% of Americans even know why we use electoral votes versus a popular or majority vote. Candidates would only campaign in the highest populated states and the lower populated states would be irrelevant and would never be a factor. The population in New York City alone is the equivalent of four mid-western states.
