Reminder: There has not been a single day in which Clinton won more pledged delegates than Obama

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

That is all.

1. That is NOT true.Clinton won more pledged delegates In Arizona

[Pirate Smile]

3. Read what the OP actually says again.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

10. The AZ primary was on Super Tuesday. Obama won more pledged delegates on Super Tuesday. n/t

2. Reminder: Bush won. Celebrating a winner for the sake of winning is stupid.

Might doesn't always make right.

Get Real.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

11. I wasn't celebrating when Bush won.

Believe me, I am not celebrating Obama for the sake of winning.

[jlake]

13. You are making the case that Obama is right because he is a winner.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

16. No I'm not.

If you choose to interpret it that way, be my guest!

P.S. I love you, fellow democrat! :hug:

[jlake]

18. Then what is your intended point?

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

21. That Obama's campaign has truly been historic in terms of changing the popular vote

Remember that Clinton, at one point, was up by 20 points in virtually all states.

Also, that the media's portrayal of this as a back and forwards contest is wrong.

I admire your stalwart support of Clinton! It shows true strength of character to believe in a cause and stick with it.

[jlake]

22. Oh, is that why Obama has 0 chance to win with just pledge delegates?

The race is SOOOOO Close.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

23. Sorry, I don't understand your point

I apologize. Would you be kind of enough to restate it for me?

[jlake]

24. If Obama has revolutionized the voting process why does he need superdelegates

to get the nomination? Hillary is not far behind.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

25. I'm not convinced he's revolutionized the voting process

He may have, however, by causing a record number of young voters to vote. However, I said that his come from behind victory is historic, and I did not say it revolutonized anything. I am not backtracking here, just restating my initial claim.

Anyways, I guess you are asking how it can be historic if it is such a close race. And, you state that it is close because he needs superdelegates to win. Actually, this is true, it is a somewhat close race and he does need superdelegates to win. However, it is still very probable that he will get the nomination, and I'm pretty sure no democrat has ever come from so far behind in public opinion to win the nomination. Therefore, it is historic!

Thanks for clarifying!

4. New Hampshire, I think.

Obama won Iowa.

Lost New Hampshire.

Squeaker win in Nevada.

Landslide in SC.

Won Super Tuesday.

Landslides ever since.

5. Both got 9 pledged delegates from NH

Despite the media's attempt to portray it as a "Comeback Kid" moment for Clinton, it was a tie in terms of pledged delegates gained.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Oh right, I completely forgot.

Cool.

[SteppingRazor]

6. Actually, the delegate count in NH is 9 and 9.

Despite Hillary's win in the vote count, they both got the same amount of pledged delegates.

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

7. Also, Obama got more pledged delegates from Nevada

Obama got 13 pledged delegates while Clinton got 12 in Nevada.

[TAWS]

8. Hillary has never led in Pledged Delegates in the whole race

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

12. Hillary has never even tied in pledged delegates the whole race n/t

[mohc]
