Numbers Don't Lie
by Me (L.J.)
To be debunked:
--ME, NE, LA and WA had representative of electorate voter turn out.
-- Obama's wins are more significant than Hillary's losses.
-- Obama has more total votes than Hillary.
Maine:

About 1 million registered voters
45,000 total voters came out in ME Caucus
59.5% = 26,550 for Obama
40.5% = 18,450 for Clinton
Nebraska:

375,000 registered Democrats
36,000 total voters came out in Nebraska caucus
57% = 25,986 for Obama
32% = 12,396 for Clinton
Louisiana:
(h t t p : / / www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives
/015165.php)
2.8 million registered voters, about half are Democrats
(1.4 million Democrats registered in Louisiana)
358,000 voted on Saturday, meaning about
ONE MILLION DEMOCRATS IN LA DID NOT VOTE
57% = 220,588 for Obama
36% = 136,959 for Clinton
Washington:
(h t t p : / / blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2008/02/our-view
-on-pre.html)
About 4.3 million voters
50,000 voters came out in Washington caucus, 1.3% of registered voters
68% = 34,000 votes for Obama
32% = 16,000 votes for Clinton
So, here's the math everyone:
Saturday and Sunday Obama racked up:
307, 124 votes
Clinton racked up:
183, 805 votes
making the difference about 123, 319 votes.
That's the big media fuss: 123,000 people.
NOW, let's put this all in to Perspective. My favorite word.
In FLORIDA, Clinton racked up:
857,208 votes compared to Obama's 569, 041.
Difference of 288, 167.
So, Clinton got more votes in the state of Florida alone than Obama managed to get with 4 states this weekend. The difference between the the twos vote count of Florida and of the states that voted this weekend was also greater for Hillary.
Obama's Florida votes plus ME, LA, Nebraska, and WA =
876, 165
Clinton's Florida votes plus all of the above is =
1,041,013
----------
Therefore:
Simple Math would tell you that if you added all the states together, Hillary would still trounce Obama.
All the votes Obama racked up this weekend are less than half the votes that Hillary alone got in Florida.
The voting blocks that turned up are not representative of the states registered voters by any stretch of the means, proved by numbers of registered voters and voter turnout.
The difference between Saturday and Sunday's votes for Hillary and Obama is 123,000 whereas the Florida difference alone is 288,000.
Final point: According to Savage Politics . Com:
Hillary Clinton has received 8,938,660 votes throughout the United States (up to February 9th) while Barack Obama has received 8,406,728.
We will add the weekend totals.
Hillary's total votes thus far: 9,122,465 votes
Obama's total votes thus far: 8,713,852 votes
Difference of: 408, 613.
That's a lot of people, don't you think?
That's a little less than the number of people who showed up to vote this weekend.
So, in conclusion:
Don't believe the Media hype. Hillary is still strongly in this game and the numbers don't lie. They actually favor Hillary by a considerable margin and Obama's big wins are again nothing but smoke and mirrors.
