If the popular vote was the way the President or nominee was picked, there would be many different presidents to what America had. Obama should let the delegates in Fl & Mi get full voting rights. He would be over the 2118 now.
Based on the manner in which Senator Clinton ran her campaign, if the determining metric had been popular vote, she would have been destroyed regardless. She wasn't prepared to win, Senator Obama was. And that's just the evidence we see.
Total votes with Florida and Michigan and the caucus estimates for IA, WA, NV and ME:
Hillary: 17,652,848
Obama: 17,600,517
Hillary leads by 52,331 votes
Woot Hillary!!
yeah, if you figure 0.0 for Obama in Michigan. i mean, seriously, is that being honest or fair? should we honestly just assume that zero, or for that matter, less than 52,000 people in the state of Michigan would have voted for Obama?
Michigan shouldn't be counted with the popular vote because Obama got 0 votes since his name wasn't even on the ballot.
Even worse than that -- if someone wrote in Obama's name (and I imagine there were a few that did), that ballot was NOT COUNTED!
