Caucuses are undemocratic garbage to begin with, so there is no reason to count them anyway.

Hillary was the democratically-determined Democratic nominee in 08. So much for democracy and letting the people decide. Roll Eyes

Even counting Michigan and Florida, it is very likely that Barack Obama received more votes. Whether you like caucuses or not (I hate them personally), people did actually cast votes in them.

Doesn't matter, caucuses don't represent the people.

And by the way, I added Obama's total caucus votes in, and Hillary Clinton still comes out ahead without even counting her caucus votes.

Don't forget that 4 states never release the "popular vote" from their caucuses.
