This is of passing interest and it brings up an amusing scenario that works to show how the left is filled with hypocrisy. Remember in 2000 when the left had ginned itself into a frenzy that Al Gore barely won the majority of the popular vote, yet lost because we don’t elect a president by popular vote? Since George Bush won the most Electoral College votes, and since that is how we really elect a president, Bush won. Now, recall how the left went mad that that Gore lost yet he got the popular vote?
So, here is the funny thing. Obama won more delegates in New Hampshire than the popular vote winer, Hillary Clinton. Check out the CNN delegate tote board and you’ll see that Hillary only ended up with 11 delegates while Obama got 12.
And now the question: Where are the leftists screaming that the woman who won the popular vote didn’t get the most delegates?
Answer: Because she has so many more delegates than the rest of the field combined, it doesn’t matter that Obama got more delegates than she in New Hampshire.
Result: the left doesn’t care about “fairness” and “democracy,” they only care about winning. If they can USE arguments of “fairness” and “democracy” to further their case, they will do so. If it doesn’t affect their case, they will ignore the issue.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI can appreciate its a trying time for you folks on the far right. I guess since your bringing up stuff from eight years past.
Forest Gump comes to mind “Hypocrisy is as hypocrisy does”.
However I respect and admire John McCain he is a great American, If the party of Lincoln and Eisenhower must face the inevitable landslide of voter repudiation, A consequence of the allowing the feckless and incompetent to lead the Republic into disgrace and rumination.
No better man the Senator John McCain could be called on to stand at the helm.
As the band plays and your party slips beneath the waves of voter discontent.
Its not so much that the Republicans will lose this one, like the midterms, they will lose in large numbers and by wide margins.
