Reply #7: Yes, I recognize the difference

[kiahzero]

My claim is that the statistically valid sample allows us to make meaningful, statistically valid claims about the population (the collection of people who've chosen to vote in a caucus or election).

Perhaps I should have phrased my statement: "The voters are speaking..." I believe Kucinich has 2 delegates, and Sharpton has 16 or so. Unless there is a radical difference in the 33 states that have yet to vote (and since my claim that the 17 states that have form a statistically valid sample is not disputed, this is highly unlikely), neither Kucinich nor Sharpton will win the nomination.
