3. She must be so proud. 40 points on Uncommitted!

:rofl:

[BootinUp]

make that 30

she'll take it.

[tekisui]

14. I was trying the new math.

:P
Whatever she takes will be solely symbolic and not add anything to momentum.

[TankLV]

31. Yeah - those grapes were probably sour anyway...right?!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

4. thats big. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

5. A moral victory for Hillary.

My congratulations to her.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. I think the fact that on a snowy day, she was able to inspire 32% of the voters to vote against her

Yes this should be our candidate. :eyes:

[BeatleBoot]

19. Let's do the math, 'kay?

7% of Michigan Democrats made it to the polls.

62% of them voted for Hillary so that 4% of all Democratic Voters in the state.

Calculation: 7% x 62% = 4.34%

32% of them voted "Uncommitted" so that's 2% of all Democratic Voters in the state.

Calculation: 7% x 32% = 2.24%

So, safe to say Hillary won by a 2 to 1 margin.

If I was on the Uncommmited slate, I'd be reaching for the ice pack right now.

[Joe the Revelator]

22. How do you look at that and think its good news for Hillary

She inspired NO one to come out and vote for her, and actually inspired a large number of people to come out against her.

[BeatleBoot]

24. She won by a 2 to 1 margin

But according to the Obama-bots she wins by a 2 to 1 margin (on a blizzardy day in most of the state) and still is uninspiring.

You know what's uninspiring?

Candidates, who decide to sit it out.

When the chips are down, I'd expect the one in charge to at least show up.

Leaders lead.

Leaders show up.

[Joe the Revelator]

25. Well, now that its clear that you have no idea what you're talking about....

Do you even know why the other candidates aren't on the ballot? It would appear that you do not.

[BeatleBoot]

30. Yeah, because they were too chicken shit of pissing off IA and NH

Since Michigan moved their primary up.

Chicken shits shouldn't lead.

Leaders lead.

Leaders show up.

[Big Blue Marble]

7. I guess that's it. The race is over.

:sarcasm:

[AX10]

8. She did quite well.

[tekisui]

11. Against Uncommitted. C'mon.

[Joe the Revelator]

9. And this is only with 6% reporting.

nt

[tekisui]

10. More importantly, Romney is only up 5%. That could've been the Dems

Voting for him.

Go Mitt the Shit!!

[Beaverhausen]

12. This is like the third pointless thread you started about the MI primary

any numbers from this primary are useless. Hillary is the only one of the leaders who is on the ballot so of course she will do well.

Actually, she should be doing a lot better. I wouldn't crow about these numbers if I were you.

[LittleClarkie]

13. All uncommitted needed was 15% right? But I'm not clear on what they can do now

with that uncommitted vote. What's the next step?

[BeatleBoot]

15. Only 7% of Democrats voted today.

68% of Republicans voted.


But I'm sure the "experts" on DU will know exactly what it means.

[The Magistrate]

16. The Arithmetic Is Pretty Simple, Sir

A bit under two and a half percent of Michigan Democrats really dislike Sen. Clinton.

[BeatleBoot]

See my post above genius.

:rofl:

She won by a 2:1 margin

They call that a spanking, numbnuts.

[BeatleBoot]

32. I see the sarcasm, now

Actually I realized right after I posted it, but was waiting to get deleted.

In my history here, I have never called a Moderator "numbnuts" and got away with it.

On this occasion, I believe it's because of the lack of my "sarcasm-radar" and I apologize.

[BeatleBoot]

21. Self-Delete

Posted twice by accident.

[wyldwolf]

17. Uncommitted = Obama/Edwards/Kucinich

[William769]

18. Hillary declared the winner.

[Freddie Stubbs]

27. Kucinich is on the ballot and is currently getting about 4% of the vote

[gmudem]

20. Holy meaningless batman!

She beat uncomitted by 30 points! Woo! I can't believe she won the race with only 1 other candidate on the ballot, she must be an unstoppable force.

[calteacherguy]

23. Very impressive for Edwards and Obama considering they weren't on the ballot. nt

[book_worm]

26. So that 40-point margin has evaporated to 30?

in a virtual one person race?

[Occam Bandage]

28. I guess Uncommitted won't be winning any elections any time soon. It's too bad O and E

pulled out; it would be interesting to see how they would have done in an actual primary.

[book_worm]

29. Uh-Oh! Hill's margin over uncommitted down to 25%

60-35

Was 40, then 30, now 25. Not that impressive when your the only major candidate on the ballot.

[wyldwolf]

33. extremely impressive when that other 35% is composed of Obama/Edwards/Dodd/Gravel voters

[book_worm]

36. hardly...turnout wasn't great because Obama and Edwards weren't on the ballot

[book_worm]

35. Oh my! Clinton is down to 55% to 40% uncommitted

That 40-point margin is now down to 15 against no real opposition!

[annie1]

37. sounds good to me. 55% her, 45% everybody else.

[book_worm]

38. but everybody else doesn't incude her two major rivals on the ballot

[MzShellG]

39. MSNBC just said...

Based on exit polls if the voters would've had a full ballot, Obama would've gotten 70% + of the vote. Wow.Just.Wow..Gee thanks Michigan dnc. NOT.
