Re: On Prioritizing the Popular Vote (2.00 / 1)

The biggest drawback to me about the popular vote argument is That the candidates and the DNC didn't state BEFORE the primaries started that that would be the metric of winning the nomination. If they had, Obama would have spent more time in Cal., NY., and all the populous states.

Re: On Prioritizing the Popular Vote (2.00 / 1)

I think that's an accurate statement. Supers really don't have anything to base their vote on. If the DNC had a list of areas (popular vote, demographic strength, etc) then the conversation would be mor structured. As it is, supers are using all sorts of frameworks, like the guy who committed to vote for Clinton even though his personal primary vote was for Obama.
