I didn't say we should disregard the Caucuses. But a Caucus is not a popular vote, by definition. Take that to mean whatever you will, and weight the statement 'Clinton has won the popular vote' however much you will. However, I think you are really missing whats going on in the party if you don't pay attention to the popular vote and the polls. If you don't pay attention to these things, then I would say you are slipping down the extremist path where winning means more than having the victory be meaningful. IE: Democrats can;t go the path where they want their person to win so much that thats all they care about.
We democrats been called traitors and tied to the maidenhead of the titanic for having the nerve to point out to the command crew the relative position and speed of the various ice bergs we've slammed into. We have to get this right. As bad as this sounds- its down to the democrats to gather a plurality to them and elect the government that can get us out of this shit storm. We're not going to get another chance. We get just one swing at it.
So getting partisan and persnickety with other Dems and saying 'WELL! Obama has more of the by-the-rules delegates going into the convention, regardless of the popular vote and polls going to Hillary, so THERE!' (and of course ignoring that Obama can't get enough delegates to clinch the nomination) is not the kind of stuff we need.
I don't think Obama can pull it off and get us back on track, but McCain sure as shit can't do it.
So all of this aside, we need to go to the convention and forge a national consensus. The candidates may need to understand that one of them is going to HAVE to be veep, or at least give an unequivocal endorsement of the other if they want a future in this party, and a party for the future. Dems need to not go nuclear on each other.
And no, I'm not sating anything about Florida and MI. If you support Obama, I would really suggest you not go there. What little data there is from there seems to indicate that things would have worked out more favorably for Hillary had they counted, and all the Obama supporter has to answer with is counterfactuals (Well, if it had been the case that Obama spent more time there... etc)... IE, what I annunciate slowly and carefully to republicans as 'fan-ta-sy-world arguments', since they can;t parse them 'fancy logicy terms'.
