there is an asterisk but no explanation that I could find.. How did they arrive at a fair total for Obama in Michigan since he was not on the ballot??

I guess they think that was a fair vote.. casts a little more light on the debate debacle..

1. they assigned him the 40% or whatever it was.

6. I don't like including MI.

You can't estimate the percentage of Edwards vs Obama voters who went for Uncommitted.

7. They should have two separate totals...one with FL and one without.

9. RCP does that but they (a rw editorial site no less) have every conceivible breakdown.

Straight pop vote totals, pop vote including FL, pop vote including both FL & MI, all of those broken down a second time with estimates from the 4 caucus states that did not provide pop vote figures.

On edit: ABC seems to suck on many fronts.

8. I think they didn't assign him anything for MI, If I remember correctly, adding FL & MI , Obama is

100K + votes ahead still without giving him a single MI vote.

2. They include it in the fine print like they dont want you to see their dishonesty.
