FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK THE TOTAL PRIMARY POPULAR VOTE IS IMPORTANT......
........Of which your friendly Basin is not one, here are some numbers to munch on.
Clinton = 15,095,663
Obama = 14,973,720
Sources, ABC News and Real Clear Politics.
Undeniable, if somewhat unimportant, fact: More human beings have voted for HRC in this primary season that for BObama.

does this include Michigan and Florida? If so it shouldn't, even HRC said so.
OK,
I'm sure RCP and ABC will get right on that.

All I know is that the Dem's have a serious issue on their hands and it is likely going to lead to McCain winning in November.
In answer to 12:36's question, yes, these numbers includes Michigan and Florida. There's a CNN article on the dueling popular vote counts here:

If the delegates from both states (MI and FL) are included - a candidate will get to the required number of delegates to win the nomination. I say give the popular vote and delgates to Hillary from Florida based on the vote (even though Obama did not campaign there and split the Michigan delegates 50-50 since Obama was not even on the ballot in that state. The delegates from those states will be seated and the Dem Party will have a nominee before the convention.
