I meant in the primaries*
She was the only one in the top 10 in history to not get the nomination of the respective party.
She lost to Obama because her campaign only focused on big state primaries and ignored the small state caucuses which offered much greater delegate/vote that Obama eventually grasped most of.
2008 Democratic primaries - Hillary Clinton 17.9 million votes
2008 Democratic primaries - Barack Obama 17.6 million votes
2000 Republican primaries - George W. Bush 12.0 million votes
2000 Democratic primaries - Al Gore 10.9 million votes
1992 Democratic primaries - Bill Clinton 10.5 million votes
1980 Democratic primaries - Jimmy Carter 10.0 million votes
2012 Republican primaries - Mitt Romney 10.0 million votes
1988 Democratic primaries - Michael Dukakis 10.0 million votes
2004 Democratic primaries - John Kerry 9.9 million votes
2008 Republican primaries - John McCain 9.9 million votes

Here in America this doesn't seem to make too much difference. I see you are from Canada, I guess you elect in a different way. Actually it is a surprise when a candidate gets the larger states and doesn't get the nomination.

I understand each vote isn't the same as you can see in the Texas primaries and caucuses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_...caucuses,_2008
Hillary won by about 100,000 votes in the primary while Obama won by 5,298 votes in the caucuses and he ended up winning 5 more delegates than Hillary in the state.

Republicans would not let that happen to Mitt Romney, even though it did in many states.
Let's see who breaks in top 10 for this election cycle.
As of right now, I think only Clinton, Trump and Sanders will but I doubt the other gop candidates will.
