| That's a complete lie.
Actually, Clinton is winning the popular vote at the moment. Obama has more delegates (though it's still a fairly close race), but Hillary is in the lead with the popular vote, and would actually be in the lead with delegates if Michigan and Florida's delegates were counted (thus, *technically*, Hillary is winning). Also, Hillary is outnumbering McCain. McCain has more delegates in the Republic primaries because a) they have a winner-take-all system (unlike the Dems), and c) he has a large lead over other Republicans.
Interestingly, many Republicans are voting for Obama, which makes me nervous (likely due to his pro-war voting record, etc...). However, many "liberals" (myself included) wouldn't vote for Obama if he got the nomination (I'd vote for a 3rd Party candidate). And most moderates/middle-of-the-road citizens/swing-voters (who are a very large percentage of the voting public) will likely vote for any Democratic candidate that gets the nomination.
Also, many Republicans seem *terrified* of Hillary, which makes me support her more (even though she's certainly not my favorite candidate in the race... I'm for Gravel... I *was* for Kucinich before he dropped out). There has to be a reason they're so afraid of her getting the nomination.
I'm sure a Democrat will win the presidency. I just hope it's not Obama.  |
