Twenty FACTS that PROVE Hillary Clinton should be the Presumptive Democratic Nominee, not Barack Obama.

20 FACTS that support (PROVE) Hillary Clinton should be the presumptive nominee.

FACT: Hillary Clinton won 7 of the 8 biggest states, and 8 out the 10 biggest states. in the country.

FACT: Hillary Clinton won 40 more pledged delegates than Barack Obama among all the primary contests even when Florida and Michigan are not counted..

FACT: Hillary Clinton was leading or tied in MOST of the caucus contests polls just prior to the vote, but lost to Barack Obama by a 2-1 margin in most of these caucuses.

FACT: Three Caucus contests that Barack Obama won by at least a 2-1 margin also held primaries at a later date and ALL showed a GAIN for Hillary Clinton of over 33% versus Barack Obama, thereby making the case for caucus cheating, or at the very least, lack of "Fair Reflection" in the caucus contests.

FACT:Texas is another example in which Hillary Clinton WON the popular vote, and then ONCE AGAIN lost the "two step" and "three step" caucuses BY A TWO to ONE margin!

FACT: During Election Night coverage, MSNBC REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE on air that Hillary Clinton closed to within 2% in the Nebraska Primary after previously losing the Nebraska caucus by a laughably false margin of 37%. When the election night Nebraska Primary results graphic was temporarily up on the screen, Chris Matthews and company IGNORED IT EVERY TIME. The final time the Nebraska graphic was put on the screen, Matthews demanded the Nebraska graphic be taken down and replaced with the West Virginia result from that same night. Instead of talking about two momentum shifting Hillary Clinton successes in one night, MSNBC completely ignored talking about the Nebraska primary result and instead just focused on West Virginia and its "racist, lower income, uneducated base that favored Hillary Clinton".

FACT:Barack Obama picked up many of his super delegates during the time period when he was losing the popular vote and delegate count to Hillary Clinton 53% to 47%.

FACT:Hillary Clinton actually lost super delegates to Barack Obama even as she was winning the final 2 and 1/2 months of the contest both in popular vote and in pledged delegates.

FACT: Hillary Clinton won the Electoral College Map versus Barack Obama by over a hundred votes.

FACT: Hillary Clinton was routinely cheated out of Delegates, at one point beating Barack Obama in 11 out of 12 States but only gaining 5 more overall delegates than Barack Obama. (see image below)


FACT: Howard Dean and John Kerry were financed by Billionaire George Soros in 2004, Bob Richardson and John Edwards were supported by Billionaire George Soros in 2008, Soros has been working behind the scenes to ensure that Barack Obama be declared the democratic nominee irrespective of whether or not he actually won it fairly and squarely.

FACT: Nancy Pelosi was recently outed as giving five figure donations to delegates so they would switch their vote from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama, even in states where Hillary Clinton had won the popular vote.

FACT: George Soros funded Arianna Huffington and Huffington Post, whose pundits would appear on MSNBC and CNN, plus Time and Newsweek, and tear down Hillary Clinton on a daily basis during the campaign season.

FACT: Media headlines demanded that Hillary Clinton suspend her campaign as far back as February, 2008. These headlines continued on a weekly basis until Hillary Clinton finally realized her political career would be ruined if she allowed the media harrassment to continue. To end the political harrassment, Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign. The media immediately proclaimed that Hillary Clinton had voluntarily suspended her campaign.

FACT: Never before has the media demanded that a candidate suspend a presidential campaign prior to the convention, until Hillary Clinton was the candidate.

FACT: Never before has a presidential candidate been pressured to release her delegates prior to a vote at the convention, until Hillary Clinton was the candidate.

FACT:Never before has the media called a presumptive nominee, in a race to close to call, the official nominee before the convention. I believe the networks have left themselves open for a huge lawsuit in this matter.

FACT: Barack Obama has less senatorial, governing, or security experience than any president in the past 120 years.

FACT: hundreds of delegates and super delegates changed their vote to Barack Obama after being for Hillary Clinton because they assumed they were supposed to vote for who might win, not who they wanted to win, because of media pressure.

FACT: Over a hundred Super Delegates and pledged delegates have switched their vote to Barack Obama even thought they thought Hillary Clinton was the better candidate and more likely to win in November against John McCain. (go ahead, ask them who they think is the better candidate)

FACT: A significant number of delegates and super delegates changed their vote to Barack Obama after receiving a "donation" from Barack Obama, even when their congressional district had voted for Hillary Clinton.

FACT: The number one comment about Keith Olbermann that I hear is either, "I used to like that guy", or "I can't believe I used to like that guy". (before Olbermann singlehandily verbally assaulted Clinton on so many occasions we all lost count, and stopped watching). Keith Olbermann looked right into the camera and lied one night when talking about "never having clamored to have Hillary Clinton quit the race".

Super Delegate and Delegate Controversy; Why are Delegates Voting for who they Think will Win Rather than who they Want to Win?

Super Delegate and Delegate Controversy; Why are Delegates Voting for who they Think will Win Rather than who they Want to Win? I have never heard of such a thing. It is spineless to vote for who you think will win rather than who you want to win and I won't support a party that actually celebrates this type of mindset.

What is a Mini Delegate and why this Label is needed.

2008 Election Results
and I have been in a give and take the past week or so. I come up with a hypothesis, their site updates the relevant stats, then I check if my hypothesis is on target. Excellent synergy, thank you!

So far in this years elections ( thru March 26, 2008), the primary states have averaged 11,009 votes for each delegate that has been selected. In the caucus states it only takes 1,304 voters for each delegate that has been selected. Besides the huge reduction in numbers that a caucus state requires to select each delegate, caucuses are very limited as to when one can vote, lack of privacy when voting vote, and inevitably those who are the loudest and most passionate can either manipulate, overpower, or simply scare off others who don't believe in this method of "voting". Entire demographic groups can be alienated or at the very least shunted in a caucus setting.

Since the term Super Delegates has already come into play, I think it is appropriate that the term Mini-Delegate be used in all states that use caucuses to select their delegates. A mini delegate is not a derogatory term, it is an accurate term that puts in focus the fact that 88% LESS voters have been required for each delegate that has been selected.

The significance of the term mini-delegate better helps analyze delegate statistics. The term mini delegate can now have its own header on statistical charts and thereby allow everybody to better understand the true breakdown in how the delegate votes have been selected. This data becomes critical when it comes to evaluating how each presidential candidate is doing.
