The differences in the 2008 and 2016 primary map are fascinating to me

[Recursion]

That's interesting, to say the least, compared to the results so far this year.

1. The only large state Obama was was his homestate

Of course Bernie has to better than that to get the nomination.

2. True, but I think this stresses how the south still has a veto over Democratic nominees

But the mid-Atlantic may be moving more into that role.

3. Hillary has nearly 2.4 MILLION more votes than Sander's.

[merrily]

4. What does that have to do with the OP?

[Recursion]

8. Thank you. That was completely irrelevant to my point

And I guess ultimately my point was that the mid-Atlantic may be replacing the South as the democratic kingmaker region.

(For anyone who bookmarks: I predict the next contested Super Tuesday will include NC, VA, and PA).

9. I was curious and assumed the poster would have an answer in mind.

Maybe he or she does?

5. One of these days, you're gonna wonder...

where that specious piece of crap meme went.

I guarantee it!

6. Too bad that number is wildly inaccurate. nt

7. We have no real idea what the "popular vote total" for this or any primary season is

Though it would not remotely surprise me if Clinton had an edge nationwide. However, we don't nominate candidates (or elect Presidents) by a nationwide plebiscite.

10. the major difference is the black vote

Which is mostly in the south.

In the ge the difference could be white women this year

11. Yep. (nt)
