Take a look at these numbers compiled by a poster over at TalkLeft who has a functioning calculator (and a brain):
Of the states that voted in March, April, May, and June:
Hillary won 8 states with 1,125,125 total votes(659,512 more than Obama):
1. Ohio (by 228,781 votes) ;
2. Rhode Island (by 33,635 votes);
3. Texas (by 95,731 votes, reduced by 5,298 caucus votes won by Obama);
4. Pennsylvania (by 214,224 votes);
5. West Virginia (by 147,551 votes);
6. Indiana (by 14,195 votes);
7. Kentucky (by 249,346 votes); and
8. Puerto Rico (by 141,662 votes).
Obama won 6 states with 465,613 total votes:
1. North Carolina (by 222,859 votes);
2. Oregon (by 108,458 votes);
3. Mississippi (by 100,123 votes);
4. Wyoming; (by 2,066 caucus votes);
5. Guam (by 7 caucus votes) and
6. Vermont (by 32,100 votes).
Any questions, class? Especially about the will of the voters (as opposed to who can best game the system early in the game). These numbers are a graphic illustration of just where Obama's chances are headed - down, down, and yet further down.
