CLINTON VS. OBAMA

If you add up the votes to date, Clinton has 13,504,000 (rounded) and Obama has 13,587,000.

There is basically 83 thousand votes that separate the two (with Obama leading). Of course, these numbers include Florida and Michigan, which have been excluded by the DNP.

You can see the potential problem the Democratic party faces. If Clinton wins PA by a big margin, then she could easily have the popular vote while trailing in the delegates (excluding the super delegates).

Personally, in a fair system it seems that the person with the most individual votes should get the nomination.
