Hey guys, did you hear? As of today, Hillary has more votes! How you ask?
Well first, start with counting all the votes from all the legal primaries done so far. Obama's still in the lead.
Then add the votes from Florida to each candidate's total. Obama's still in the lead.
Now add the votes from Michigan to each candidate's total (giving Obama the undecided votes since his name wasn't on the ballot). Obama's still in the lead.
Wait, back up. Don't give Obama any votes from Michigan. Only give Clinton votes from Michigan. NOW Clinton is in the lead in votes.
But she's still behind in the only thing that matters: delegate count.
