How is Obama the leader in popular vote? (5.00 / 5) (#24)

Why, by not counting Michigan and Florida, of course!

The primaries are far from over. Big states have yet to weigh in.

And once again, you miss the point. The point is that we are discounting the votes of Michigan and Florida. Not. OKAY.
