Counties?.....might as well tally zip codes , they just as relevant Nt pkdu Apr 2016 #4

It is relevant to delegate allocation. morningfog Apr 2016 #5

Delegate count says otherwise. Feel the Math. Nt pkdu Apr 2016 #10

Acres do not vote. People do. baldguy Apr 2016 #14

You guys have been using that number... Buddyblazon Apr 2016 #17

Because, like it or not, people keep voting for Clinton. baldguy Apr 2016 #20

Because they don't include caucuses where in many states popular vote is not recorded. DemocracyDirect Apr 2016 #26

We don't nominate by popular vote either. morningfog Apr 2016 #18

Delegates are allocated by popular vote. More votes = more delegates. baldguy Apr 2016 #21

If she is our nominee in, you will find out how hard math really will be. artislife Apr 2016 #23

Delegate count per state is not based solely on population. And allocation is by state. morningfog Apr 2016 #24

And if you look at a real analysis of the votes. . that numbers is more of a propaganda than reality pdsimdars Apr 2016 #47

No shit! As I said in the OP. She is less far ahead than she was though. Down from 335 to 215. morningfog Apr 2016 #33

She's not floundering, she's winning. n/t Lil Missy Apr 2016 #34

She is "leading" because of her padded delegate count from early on. morningfog Apr 2016 #35

You have no chance Tarc Apr 2016 #58

Within in 10 points in NY and 6 in PA. Things are looking good. morningfog Apr 2016 #59
