Who remembers HRC's behavior in the 2008 Primaries?

134. I don't agree that the so-called pledged delegate count reflects the will of the people and that

you are overturning it if the leader in that particular category is not selected as nominee.

Hillary made several arguments as to why she should be nominated, like the fact that if you looked at the primary map through the prism of the electoral college map, she would come out on top. She also won a majority of congressional districts. She brought up the issue of the fairness of caucuses, and how many people can't attend, and whether it is fair to consider those delegates equal to primaries delegates. Granted the rules say that they were--but the rules also included automatic delegates (SDs) and without them there might have been different ways of counting or awarding the PDs.

I even seem to remember that in Texas Latino areas were awarded fewer delegates because they had lower turnout in the 2004 primaries. Would that have been allowed in a system that didn't include SDs? Maybe, maybe not.

My point is that there is a difference between saying that you felt Obama should be the nominee, based on a how and where the votes were cast, and saying that he so clearly was entitled to it that anyone who disagrees was trying to steal it and lacks ethics.
