2. Yes, if each one gave her just a couple of bucks she would be out of debt!

3. By that logic, you could say Obama is getting a lot of corporate money
If he is truly down in the popular vote, yet has more money, one could extrapolate that it is special interest money that is funding him, so I don't know that I would crow about that, just thinking out loud.

4. Oh? You can, of course, provide links for your thoughts?
While you're at it, why not do a comparison chart of special interest donations to both candidates.

9. You claimed that your "thoughts" were based on "logic".
While extrapolating an opinion based on your thoughts. I'm questioning your "logic" that says that Obama must be getting money from special interests.

12. You can't argue truth with a HillFan. They're on the other side of the looking glass.

15. What a pathetic thing this board has become.
I am not a "HillFan" of a "hilbot" but you go on calling names. I'm sorry that I was an Edwards supporter and too late to get into your lttile club here. :(

16. Actually, HillFan is nice term, not a negative.
I refuse to use terms like bots, zombies, etc. HillFan is a Fan/supporter of Hillary.
And I disagree with the 'popular vote' theory, because the only way to reach that conclusion is to discount honest and fair contests, but include two invalid/not-included contests.

And I'm sorry to offend, it's just frustrating when using the popular vote as an arguement doesn't matter in a race for delegates. If it was a popular vote only contest, I'm sure Obama would have spent far more time in states like California, and ignored the caucus states like Hillary did.

In closing, I was an Edwards fan as well. I would have taken him or Obama. I'm thrilled beyond all that Obama is going to help JE promote his new Poverty program, and I hope that it's a central focus of Obama's administration - particularly in his civil service sector (rebuilding communities, education, job development, etc).

17. Good on you.
re: poverty program etc.

And in agreement with the popular vote as an argument thing.

I am just to the point where I think Clinton's campaign is beyond salvage at this point and it's time to gather around one nominee and get them elected :hi:

10. Cool - I'm a special interest now :D
I've donated numerous times to his campaign. :party:

But of course - I'm sure you can list the companies that have made corporate donations. *waiting*

13. Sweet!
And if you reread my post, I'm just questioning this talking point as one that would be effective to bring up. Why the hostility?

8. Remember, there is no popular vote
It's a nebulous number drawn from the ether.

14. Except Obama is winning the popular vote by about 600K
if all we're talking about is contested races (including caucuses).
