Though its nice seeing the usual suspects going apeshit over it. I really do not give this poll much thought. Though its nice seeing the usual suspects going apeshit over it.

I don't think that Florida or Michigan are going to matter. I'm looking at the super delegates right now, and after I posted the two that endorsed Obama earlier there's been a third today. There's supposed to be like six tomorrow from North Carolina. I think there's going to be a steady trickle from here on in, and I think they're going to push this thing to an end before all is said and done. that’s a very good point.

Hillary, on the other hand, everyone in the country knows who she is. That's why she got so many votes in Florida and Michigan... Those states weren't contested, nobody campaigned there, so Democrats that voted went for the person they most knew. Which, of course, would be why her campaign wants revotes there, I imagine... For her, it would sure be great if votes in states that Obama never campaigned in counted.
