Obama Leads In Popular Vote

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary

Even if you factor in Michigan and Florida for Hillary.

States Awarding Delegates
Obama 9,373,334 50%
Clinton 8,674,779 46%
Others 726,095 4%

With Florida
Obama 9,942,375 49%
Clinton 9,531,987 46%
Others 984,236 4%

With Florida and Michigan
Obama 9,942,375 47%
Clinton 9,860,138 47%
Others 1,249,922 6%

I say it again, Hillary and company try to leverage the super delegate system at their own peril. She may still want to run again if McCain makes Barack a loser and the one way to make sure she can have another shot is not lean on party insiders to deliver the nomination for her.

I’m sure those discussions are gong on in the Clinton camp, and they are no doubt quite heated. I don’t think there’s a practical option other than doing the right thing — but sometimes politicians aren’t very practical.
