Its All about the Math for Obama and it Always has been

The real reason Obama took his name off of the Michigan ballot had less to do with following democratic rules and procedures and more to do with math. Back in January it made sense to not support any action that would accelerate the number of delegates that Hillary could get. Knowing that February would have a lot of caucus delegates up for grabs, it made no sense to allow Hillary Clinton to gain a sizeable delegate advantage before the February caucuses.

There was no nobility in Obama's decision to remove his name from the Michigan ballot. Even if the state had ended up in a tie, at the time that Obama decided to take his name off the ballot, a tie still favored Hillary because Hillary was leading early on. Further proof of this mathematical chicanery can be found in Barack Obama's most recent "peace offering". Once the Florida and Michigan delegates can no longer change the outcome of the race, then they can be seated.

The mathematical pathology of the Barack Obama campaign is chilling to say the least.

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.
