If You Count All The Votes In Democrat Primaries Hillary Leads Obama By Over 154,000 Votes

Going by the coverage Obama receives in the media you’d think he’s on a downhill jog toward victory.  But the truth is that when you go by the popular votes in the various Democrat primaries/caucuses (including those votes cast in Florida and Michigan) Hillary leads Obama.  Easily.

Hillary’s vote margin in Kentucky, with 100 percent reporting: 249,374.

Obama’s vote margin in Oregon, with 88 percent of precincts reporting: 94,668.

Hillary’s gain in the popular vote margin last night, as of now, no matter which states you count: 154,706.

According to the RealClearPolitics math, Hillary now leads if you count Florida and Michigan AND if you count the estimates of caucus states Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Washington. If you don’t count the caucus states, she leads by an even wider margin.

So what does this mean?  For one thing, it means that more Democrats would seem to be supporting Hillary than Obama.  For another, it would also seem that if Obama wins the nomination it will be an illegitimate victory seeing as how it came without counting votes in two of the nations most populous and vital swing states.

I know the liberal love affair with Obama knows no boundaries in terms of departures from logic and reason, but do Democrats really want to nominate a guy who can’t even win the popular vote within the party itself?
