I feel as though the media needs a refresher course on what really determines a “winner” of primaries and caucuses: delegates. They continue to use the popular vote as the only factor to determine the winner of the contest without putting more emphasis on delegates won. It is projected that? Obama will win the most delegates out of Texas and therefore he truly won Texas, just like he truly won Nevada. He won more delegates and in the end that is what counts!

Hillary’s argument about winning big states is flimsy. There is little evidence to suggest that she would carry Texas and Ohio in the general election.? This plan she is creating to use the popular vote as a bargaining chip to sway the superdelgates is not going to fly. For certain Obama will have the most delegates and will have won the most states (big and small) And if Michigan carries out its plan to caucus, well then…

And one last point… lets pay attention to what really helped Clinton win Ohio: those south east rural counties that exit polls clearly showed voted based on race.

P.S. Hillary is not a monster… as far as I know
