I call that schools teach a new subject: Clinton Math
Obviously this new subject has been recently discovered, and I would hope that all public schools across the nation begin to adapt and teach this new math which clearly replaces the old system of counting which has been in place for thousands of years. This new method is easier for students to learn, and would lessen the burden on them to try to achieve as much. Likewise, this new math is able able to be changed to fit your argument, no matter how invalid or false it may be!

Think of the broad implications of this new subject! We could create a new generation of politicians, bankers, economists, and teachers with this! We will move into the 23rd century ahead of schedule!

Let me give you an example, which many of you may be familiar with:

204,930(Arizona) + 209,968(Arkansas) + 2,144,251(California) + 857,208(Florida) + 644,594(Indiana) + 459,124(Kentucky) + 704,591(Massachusetts) + 328,151(Michigan) + 5,355(Nevada) + 112,251(New Hampshire) + 602,576(New Jersey) + 1,003,623(New York) + 1,207,806(Ohio) + 228,425(Oklahoma) + 1,260,444(Pennsylvania) + 108,750(Rhode Island) + 332,599(Tennessee) + 1,459,814(Texas) + 239,298(West Virginia) = More votes than Obama = Nomination to Hillary

See? It's that simple! All you have to do is use numbers that favor your opinion! People like Mike Huckabee and a large potion of the Republican Party have already begun adopting this new math, and it's only a while before the public education system institutes this!

'if fuzzy math worked for Bush in the last two elections it can work for me!'

I'll put that up to a simple mistake and not question his abilities.
