Clinton's Flawed Electoral Tactic

now, the clintons are saying they have the electoral vote! but again, their argument is flawed.
Never mind that electoral votes have absolutely nothing to do with picking the Democrats' nominee. And never mind that 86 of Clinton's "electoral votes" come from New York and California -- where both she and Obama would be winners in the general election.

The Electoral Vote Metric is likely to last about as long as the failed Caucus State vs. Primary State Metric or the Red State vs. Blue State Metric. So the Clinton campaign will soon need new talking points. These are the metrics they should be pushing:


the story by "candid camera's" peter funt goes on to say that the correct metrics the clintons should be using: she has the states that start with "new." HA! funny.
she leads in states that have the most starbucks. more funny. this is the best story i've seen in weeks.
