being rubbish.
I'm not certain that I agree with you that the lone purpose of the primary is to determine electability though.
I voted for the candidate I thought would make the best president.
And I'm also not sure about your method for showing the most electable candidate.
ANd I would argue that Obama does well in states that he campaigns in to counter his relative lack of familiarity. He hasn't campaigned in Florida yet. Isn't that a little unfair?
Both Florida and Michigan were beauty contests, buzz polls, name recognition contests, whatever your label. J Ro a few weeks back posted an article showing how Obama closed the gap in every state he campaigned in, often substantially. The Clinton supporters who advocate the popular vote metric conveniently ignore this when they assert that Florida and Michigan could be counted (and that Obama should receive no votes from Michigan because he took his name off the ballot!).
Ridiculous.
