Rule Number One: The only vote that counts in determining who becomes President is the Electors tally in the Electoral College.
Rule Number Two: Do Not Forget Rule Number One.
Concerning Senator Obama: His supporters say he won more States -- True; he has more popular votes -- that might be a qualified True; Superdelegates should declare for him now since there is no way Senator Clinton can catch him -- TRUE, but irrelevant since he cannot gather enough votes for the nomination without Superdelegates. His supporters think it is also appropriate for Superdelegates in states that Senator Clinton won should not be forced to follow the will of the people of that state and vote for her--Massachusetts is the outstanding example. But, his supporters, sometimes have vehemently argued, past and present, that the will of the people should not be overturned by Superdelegates.
Florida and Michigan voters are considered by Senator Obama's people to have broken the rules and therefore their opinions are not to be reckoned with even though there will be Electors from those states voting in the Electoral College. All the candidates running at the time of the vote in Florida were on the ballot and the results were a TRUE reflection of the candidates appeal at that time. In Michigan, Senator Clinton's name was the only one on the ballot and she received about 55% of the vote. When Florida voters and Michigan voters for her are not tallied in the popular vote it makes Senator Obama's great lead claim in popular vote viewable with a wry smile. His count in Florida is known and give him the 45% in Michigan as a bonus -- that would reflect a closer to the truth tally as regards voter preference. Pointing out that much of Senator Obama's lead in the popular vote comes from states that neither he nor Senator Clinton would carry in the election is a subtle way of questioning what popular vote is important.
Lastly, Senator Obama is now exhorting Superdelegates to come out for him canceling his supporters past arguments that Superdelegates should not pick the nominee.
Concerning Senator Clinton: Besides making the stupidest comment of her public life, she is closer to those voters who are not young and idealistically in love with the worthy Senator Obama; she is closer to those voters who are having a hard time in our country and are more numerous than the upper middle class and rich folks also swayed by the brilliance of Senator Obama's oratory, and there should be no doubt that those voters will chose the next President of the United States.
I will gladly and happily vote for whomever the Democrats nominate. But my country cannot stand another four years of Republican non-leadership. Therefore I invite you all to visit the following website daily and REMEMBER RULE NUMBER ONE: www.electoral-vote.com
