[Dems2008] Latest yardstick...

The Clintonistas keep coming up with new yardsticks to measure by after the old ones keep showing her behind. First it was "Oh but we have more delegates..." then Obama ended up with more delegates... Next it was "oh but we have more delegates won in primaries... because you know those caucus delegates may count the same but they're really not as important..." then Obama ended up with more "primary delegates"...

Sen Bayh has proposed that we should look at states' electoral college votes as a yardstick to measure who should be the nominee... Let's see... Clinton won 10 contests for a total of 219 electoral college votes and Obama's won 24 contests for a total of 202 electoral college votes... Of course she's not mentioning the fact that 98 of those electoral college votes came from states the Obama is probably going to win in November (California - 55, New York - 31, Massachusetts - 12) and another 34 came from a state that probably neither would win in November (Texas). Oh wait... Clinton won the primary in Texas, but not the caucus... that makes it a draw right... Oooo... my bad, caucuses are undemocratic and therefor don't really count.

Someone from the FDA needs to check their Kool-aid...
