21. You don't know that Wikepedia isn't a valid news source? That READERS can edit it? Duh.....
Second...exit polls said that Kerry won in 2004. Exit polls can be useful for certain things. But they can't be relied upon to show who won.

Third....MI & FL were name recognition primaries. Clinton was the most famous person on the ballot (the most famous woman in the country, actually, if not the world). The unknown candidates MUST rely on campaigning to get votes.

This is why MI & FL cannot count as totally valid primaries. It's grossly unfair to the lesser known candidates, since they are at an extreme disadvantage in any such primary.

But you know that. And obviously don't care.
