The Fall of the House of Clinton

[rvg]

Of course, I was smiling when I read it.

Could you clarify this? There is no meaningful metric that Obama didn't win by, including # of states won, % of popular vote, # of pledged delegates, etc, etc.

He lost the popular vote

Only if you do some really interesting math. By all normal counts, the man won fair and square.

He lost the popular vote

The only way that that would be correct if you count Michigan where Obama wasn't even on the ballot...
My proof
Popular Vote Total (No IA, NV, ME, WA or MI):
Obama - 17, 535, 458
Clinton - 17, 493, 836
Total - Obama + 41, 622

Now if you count the above states, but not Michigan, then the result becomes Obama + 151, 844.
