1. What's your point?

Is this a new metric? Popular votes based on people who have voted since an arbitrarily selected date?

I voted in Virginia in February. Does my vote not count now?

[jsamuel]

4. Just thought it was interesting enough to post it.

[Bensthename]

2. If Obama wasnt on to the gen election he would be doing better, but this race is over..

No need to blow his bank account like Hillary..

[GarbagemanLB]

3. Obama is ahead in the popular vote.

[SoxFan]

5. "February doesn't count!"

:eyes:

[bowens43]

6. this is important because????

[avenger64]

7. Wow. Buyer's remorse ...

... has set in. I wonder what percent of his vote total from the 6,056,445 was african-american?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

9. Why? Do African Americans not count now?

[avenger64]

18. Oh, they definitely count ...

... and they're all voting for Obama. Counting is not the issue. I just wonder if over half of his votes come from a constituency that makes up 11 percent of the country. That would be seriously skewed.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

20. Why would it be skewed? They voted in large numbers. Others didn't.

[Pirate Smile]

12. Different states have different demographics. They each have their own demos that they win.

There is no buyers remorse.

You guys really need to move into the acceptance stage. This crap is ridiculous.

[Labors of Hercules]

22. How can you have "buyers remorse" at the time of purchase?

People who are voting for the first time are showing "buyer's remorse" for what? They haven't "bought" anything yet. You make NO FUCKING SENSE. Give me a damn break.

[Jersey Devil]

8. What about the 11 straight that Obama won before PA?

They don't count?

[rox63]

10. Sorry, but the contest goes back to early January

You can't just count part of it and ignore the rest.

[RainDog]

11. Clintonistas are trying to overturn the agreed-upon rules for the primary

because they have no grace. because they are acting like spoiled children who can't win fairly so they have to throw tantrums and declare the rules don't count and we're all supposed to just sit here and let them do it.

the sense of entitlement is repulsive to see.

[Occam Bandage]

13. So?

[book_worm]

14. That's nice. I wonder what it is from 1/08-2/08?

I'm sure you wouldn't mind posting those numbers too, right? Without Florida and Michigan.

[jsamuel]

16. You can calculate that here

but then you have to worry about FL/MI and caucuses:

[Abacus]

15. Maybe we should try this on November 4

Only states that begin voting after 11 am ET count... Obama will win in a landslide!

[datopbanana]

17. What a waste of brain power. Completely meaningless.

[Major Hogwash]

19. Hillary didn't win a single fucking primary between Super Tuesday and Ohio!

Munch on that!!

[redqueen]

21. delete
