It's the delegates!
No.
It's the popular vote.
No.
It's the electoral votes that the Democrat could or should win.
No.
Now, the latest and greatest argument from the Clintons?
Follow me below the fold...
We should follow the Republican's rules for electing our nominee!
Yep. That's their newest twisted logic.
Bill Clinton opened his mouth again and more bile came out. Here is what it sounded like:
"I did not actually get the delegates necessary to have a first power of the nomination under the crazy system the democrats have," Clinton said. "If we were under the republican system which is more like the electoral college, she would have a 300 delegate lead ...It's an eternity 'til the general election, an eternity."
Let's see how reasonable that is. Clinton wins 15 contests. Obama wins 29. But, under the Republican rules, Obama would be losing - badly.
Isn't this why we're Democrats?
ABC News' Political Unit did some quick math and added up all the pledged delegate counts for the winner-take-all Democratic contest. As of the most recent count on the eve of the Pennsylvania state primary, Senator Hillary Clinton has won 15 state contests and was awarded 1430 delegates, not including unpledged (a.k.a. "superdelegates"). Barack Obama has won 29, and has 1257 delegates.
Am I out of line here? Does anyone else have a serious problem with this?
Or is this just more BS from the Clintons and I should just roll my eyes and laugh it off?
