Anyone who watched coverage of the Clinton campaign last night heard the new talking point:"After last night's decisive victory in Pennsylvania, more people have voted for Hillary than any other candidate, including Sen. Obama."
Really? That doesn't make sense to me. The press release continues:
"Estimates vary slightly, but according to Real Clear Politics, Hillary has received 15,095,663 votes to Sen. Obama's 14,973,720, a margin of more than 120,000 votes. ABC News reported this morning that "Clinton has pulled ahead of Obama" in the popular vote."
So the Clinton campaign is correct, the media is in the bag for Senator Obama. They have been providing us false data all along to make us believe it was over. The release concludes:
"This count includes certified vote totals in Florida and Michigan."
Oh, you mean that state where there was no campaigning in January (when Obama was still relatively unknown) and that other state where Senator Clinton's name was the only one on the ballot? This argument is so dumb I could scream. Why would you include these in your campaign propaganda. Michigan is much easier, 40% voted Uncommitted when the only names appearing on the ballot were Senators Clinton and Gravel and Representative Kucinich. Basically, they are adding over 300,000 votes to the Senators total while giving Senator Obama 0. That definitely helps one's cause when working from behind. As far as Florida goes, one might argue that Senator Clinton would have a marked advantage in an election held in January where the voters were essentially voting on name recognition alone. Remember, back then she was not nearly as annoying as she is today. So basically these numbers are nonsense, a ruse used to make people think her candidacy is alive and well, when it fact it's existence seems to hinge on deception. Thus another black mark on the Clinton candidacy. See this release here. If one was wondering how in-touch the Clinton campaign is with Democratic Party primary voters, see hyper-Clintonian Terry McAuliffe in the video below:

The people who work for her are ultimately what is going to bring her down. In sports and politics, you better surround yourself with smart people. She obviously has not done that and it is a damn shame.
I agree with you 100% about Michagan and Florida. She broke an agreement between the candidates not to put her name on the ballot in those two state and now she's crying foul. I do think the media is a little pro-Obama but Hillary just makes it so easy to be villanized with the crap that she pulls.
