UnFair Rejection. How the Democratic Party Ignored the Reality of "Fair Reflection" and Hillary Clinton's Advantage over Barack Obama.

These are the Great Plain Caucus States that Barack Obama used to build his insurmountable lead back in February of 2008. But did the margin of victory in these 9 caucus state victories offer a "fair reflection" of the voters in those states?

The final two races in the Great Plains region were not caucus races, but primary races instead. Suddenly, Barack Obama's 2-1 margin of victory in the Caucus States was reduced to an almost identical 50-50 popular vote split for both Montana and South Dakota.

This is clear evidence that the caucus states did not provide "Fair Reflection" of the voters of their states. Fair Reflection is a tenet that the Democratic party has chosen to ignore this year, and may alienate some of their own democratic voter base because of it.

Meanwhile the american media REFUSES to even mention the word Fair Reflection nor delve head on into this issue.

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.
