Hillary actually won the popular vote, if you count Michigan – even if you give Obama the “undecided” votes. However, according to Real Clear Politics, officials didn’t release the numbers in Iowa, Nevada, Washington & Maine. Those states would likely give the edge to Obama, unless you count Michigan and don’t give Obama the “undecided.”
So if you do the Democratic thing and only count actual votes for actual candidates, Hillary wins. She flat out wins.

Was there a popular vote in those four states?
Were official results not released?
Who made the estimates?
Barack Hussein was SELECTED NOT Elected. The DNC Selected him 4 years ago. The DNC has disenfranchised millions of votes. A more experienced woman was kicked to the curb by the all boys club inside the beltway. This marks the post feminist era.
"Why give the filthy stinking witch any votes in Michigan when her name was the only one on the ballot?"
"This isn't the Soviet Union.
"I am utterly amazed how many people here on FR underestimate the danger that the Klintoons pose. Obama is a bumbling buffoon. He can't win. The filthy banshee is the second coming of Adolf Hitler.
The point is, that the DNC committee decided to count Michigan votes, but in giving Obama votes when his name wasn't on the ballet he became the dems "Selected NOT Elected" candidate. Which republicans can use as payback for all the times we've had to hear selected not elected about President Bush. And I am very overjoyed to be able to say "Selected NOT Elected!" when it comes to the dem candidate. And to be honest, I really don't understand why anyone would have a problem with that. Well, maybe a dem or an Obama supporter. But other then that makes no sense
And no! This is not the Soviet Union, we are allowed to express ourselves even if we don't agree, as I just proved.
why give Obama any votes for Michigan at all. The man took his name off the Michigan ballet. He can't cry foul when the choice to take his name off the ballet was his own.
. . . but why would he want his name on a dance in Michigan?(rimshot)
” Not to mention, everyone was well aware that a vote for Uncommitted was a vote for Obama by proxy.”
Someone might have wanted to mention that to John Edwards. All that campaign money for nothing.
Iowa: 30%
Michigan: apparently 0%???
The polls didn't include Hillary's Necro-American voting bloc.
By that measure, all of the votes in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and any other state that has consistently voted for the GOP in presidential elections in recent years should also be thrown out.
There is a line in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar where Casca is talking about Caesar coming home victorious and the rabblement, as he calls it, is cheering wildly. He says that they hooted, clapped their chopt hands, and threw their sweaty nightcaps in the air. Then he says, “And for mine own part, I durst not laugh, for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air.” I am convinced that Obama and the dragonlady feel exactly the same way about their supporters.

You are right. The line just popped into my mind when I saw that picture.
Oh, interesting. I hadn’t heard that angle. That would put another twist on the situation.
It’s just lose-lose at this point. Under the established rules they shouldn’t be counted. Trying to salvage the situation whith some compromise made up on the fly is going to peave off one side ot the other.
History books will argue over this for ages.
I'm sorry I wasn't clear....I was speaking to the headline as it relates to the rat primaries and rat nomination, regardless of red state/blue state.
hillary’s claim has always been she is more competitive in competitive states, and I believe she is right.
(Michigan/Florida/Ohio)
Except for psychological reasons, it just doesn't make sense to claim to be the king or queen of the Rat primary “popular” vote.
I used the 632k+ win for Obama in the illinois primary as an example of the winner of the total popular vote being skewered, as Illinois electoral votes will go rat in the general anyway. For awhile, that 632k+ (it's now up to 650k) margin was the exact margin of Obama’s popular vote lead.
And hillary won Puerto Rico by 141k + - yet PR can't vote in the general presidential election, what good is counting the popular here...
She also won NY by 300k+ votes. I believe NY also goes RAT in the general, regardless.
Course, if there really is a michelle- whitey tape - and it's shown ?
Now all those democrat ‘popular vote is supreme’ thinkers from the Bush election, please step forward and denounce Barack Obama as your candidate.
I didn’t think so.
Which is why Obambi will lose, come November.
There were Repubs that crossed over for Obammi to make sure it wouldn’t be Hillary.
