26. Um... what? He's won the popular vote by every metric that can actually be measured.

Seen as how the only way Clinton "wins" the popular vote is if you count BOTH FL and MI, and you can't "count" MI since her name was the only name on the ballot, due to rules she agreed to - its both IN PRINT AND there is audio of her saying that MI will not count. So if you pretend Obama got ZERO votes in MI, then yes, in that completely fabricated world Clinton gets the majority of ....something. It's not the "Popular vote" but its some subset of that.

However, in the reality based world the rest of our community lives in, Obama has the popular vote well in hand.

Sorry.
