A response to P2BA: Hillbots don't get bragging rights until their candidate..

[Joe the Revelator]

wins more delegates then her opponents in an election.

1. Oh c'mon.

She won more in NH, right? :shrug:

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Tied

[DUyellow]

3. nope

[tammywammy]

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?

[sniffa]

7. The race baiting from the Clinton camp is obviously targeted at him.

It sickens me. :puke:

[tammywammy]

9. Agreed

When will this media black-out stop?!?!

[JVS]

5. LOL

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.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Disagree with it all night, but it is what it is

and right now Hillary isn't doing well with it.

[joshcryer]

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).

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Actually she doesn't, as MSNBC reminded us tonight, Superdelegate counts are nothing more then....

phantom numbers until the convention.

[HughMoran]

11. True Obama has 1.5% to Hillary's 1.1% of commited delegates

We got a long way to go 'till either has >50%!

[sandnsea]

13. We're electing delegates - reality

Deal with it.

[joshcryer]

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.

[sandnsea]

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.
