Obama Still Leads In Popular Vote

Submitted by politicalWinters on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 6:23am.

Despite a trouncing last night in West Virginia, Barack Obama still has a more than 500,000-vote lead in the popular vote.

The only way Hillary Clinton could claim a popular vote victory is if Florida and Michigan were included. If so, that would give Clinton a lead of slightly more than 25,000. However, those two states don't count - at least yet - because they moved their primary up against national party rules.
