4. But what about Mercer? |
|
I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that blacks are only voting for him because he's black. Is that going to effect him in Florida?

6. Obama supporters are notorious for being for the representational figures. |
|
Rather than the actual vote figures.
Kinda like Bush 2000.
Myself, I disagree with the caucus system, and would prefer a direct primary system.

10. Ooh, but she "has the most delegates." |
|
Bleh, fuck the delegate system. I'd rather look at vote figures. At this point I consider it a tie (even though Hillary does have more delegates).

14. As long as they represent the majority of voters. |
|
And not some phantom BS electoral crap where the popular vote is silenced by those with power.

15. We're Electing Delegates |
|
Each state has their own formula to appoint delegates based on precinct size and turnout. It's to give smaller areas a voice so they don't riot. Obama is leading in delegates and has since Iowa. If you want to win the Presidency, you better appeal to everybody.

16. it's the super-delegates |
|
that are anti democracy, not the delegates.
Barack got almost 300,000 votes tonight which earned him 25 delegates.
25 Democrat senators are also 25 delegates.
300,000 South Carolinians = 25 senators.
