Clinton's Popular Vote "Lead"

By Justin Gardner

That's right. If you count Florida and Michigan, but don't count any votes from those 4 caucus states, she leads by just over 26K votes. That's her argument.


And do note that Obama gets ZERO votes out of Michigan because his name wasn't on the ballot. But if you count half the "Uncommitted" votes from Michigan for Obama (and he probably got more than that), he's ahead of Clinton by nearly 100K votes.


What Hillary and her campaign are taking part in right now represents one THE most dishonest and disingenuous strategies they've employed yet.


How very shameful...
