Reply #4: I agree - if Hillary loses the total National popular vote from all contests she is toast [View All]

And Obama is - for this day until he flip/flops - in favor of the nomination going to the person with the most votes nationwide! And that sound fine with me.

The clip of Obama saying this was shown on Hardball - Obama was saying that super delegates should not count and the winner of the most elected delegates, or most states, or of the total popular vote, should get the nomination.“My strong belief is that if we end up with the most states and the most pledged delegates from the most voters in the country, that it would be problematic for the political insiders to overturn the judgment of the voters.”

It appeared he was confident he would win all 3 titles - indeed for the first time - if he sticks with the popular vote idea - I could see 99.99% of the Social Security crowd moving to Obama if Hillary is not the nominee. Speaking to folks tonight the super delegate folks were willing to cave if the change is to total popular vote.
