Hillary's reasoning and calculations --- ???
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_vote_count.html

I'm trying to tally what Hillary's ill-conceived logic is on this popular vote deal that she is now using as the gauge for calculating a winner.

According to the above link, counting all of Florida and Michigan as she wants to do(I know, I know) but if she got it all, that would mean she has, to date, abt 63,300 more votes.

But we still have Montana, SD, and PR to go. She will win PR? He will win MT & SD? Right? Anybody know the projections for those last three? Wouldn't he be able to make up that difference between Montana and SD?

And besides that -- what about the caucus states who have already voted? What does she propose we do with them? Those states don't tally popular vote, do they? And since they don't -- at least some of them don't, then isn't that disenfranchising those states' voters? What is it that she keeps preaching -- all voters should be heard! Duh!

Why is the media and everybody humoring her in this insane calculation when it's delegates - not popular vote - and always has been? I know everybody wants to bring the party together and not antagonize her followers, but this stuff isn't even logical. In fact, I find it pretty embarrassing with all the new calcualations, count this, don't count that, changing rules, moving goal posts! That's not fortitude -- it's psychotic. I really think we should all start mailing tubes of chapstick to all the pundits and these politicians who are giving her serious credence, including Obama himself for always flattering her so much when she's clearly out to destroy him! And no, I don't want him badmouthing her, for sure -- but I think he could back off on the praises a little bit -- but that's just my humble opinion.
