The Campaign Continues. Tediously.
Maybe I can start a sort of daily tab pegging the atrocities of the Hillary Clinton campaign.  The latest is watching her assert that she has surpassed Barack Obama in the popular vote total… if you include, as she does, the phantom primary in Florida and the phantomer primary in Michigan. The latter she excludes the non-committed, those wacky 45 percent of non-named Obama delegate voters floating around after Obama followed the rules of taking his name off the ballot and Clinton did not.
While at one time I had thought that the halving of the Florida primary result would result in the result an actual contest would provide, and thus was a good idea, I never quite knew what a theoretically just solution in Michigan might be. I would have thought Obama would have won Michigan, but then you are confronted by the worst economy in the United States with a good rural population of bitter people who cling to their guns and religion. Obama proposes to call it even. Charming, he.
After a spell, I come to the idea of calling Hillary Clinton’s bluff — not even going to any new revoting total, and ratifying the results. Whatever Florida gives her, and the — I think it’s that 55 – 45 split in Michigan. Providing Hillary Clinton with another cut in a dozen or two delegates. To be swamped out by the Super-delegates as they trend toward Barack Obama. With the result being, scratching the head regarding what she was trying to do with that one.
