>No, I believe you are incorrect. I read an article that showed the popular vote and Hillary has more votes than Obama by far. That was my point. Obama has more delegates because Hillary did not campaign in the smaller caucuses as he did (and it paid off). What's up with you today? Why so angry?

I decided to go find out the truth. Can't find totals anywhere, so I'm using the state-by-state results on CNN.

Totals for primaries (not including FL and MI)

Clinton: 13,319,108
Obama: 13,574,246


Totals for FL and MI

Clinton: 1,185,359 (FL: 857,208; MI: 328,151)
Obama: 569,041 (FL only)


Totals for caucuses

Clinton: 188,054
Obama: 390,238

Grand totals:

Clinton: 14,692,521
Obama: 14,533,525

So, as I thought (and assuming I typed the right numbers into the calculator <s>), Clinton is leading only by including Florida and Michigan, and in fact, if you omit only Michigan, which to me makes clear sense, Obama is still leading.
