Estimate w/IA, NV, ME, WA along with uncommitted in Michigan
Obama = 18,107,710 or 48.1% of popular vote versus 18,046,007 or 47.9% for Clinton.
If this is too hard to understand I suggest reviewing some 4th grade math.

Even if that were correct, and we add the "uncommitted" votes to Obama's total, it's still showing the superdelegates to be disproportionate.
Obama has 425 superdelegates to Clinton's 275. How does 48% of the vote amount to 60% of the superdelegates? He should have more like 345 according to your totals.
The superdelegates are not representing the will of the people. They are subverting the democratic process to get their chosen candidate on the ballot.
Exactly like you were all afraid of. But it's OK with all of you because all that matters is that your candidate is winning.
Obama's "change" and "new kind of politics" is the same old Chicago Democrat political machine - lie, cheat, steal, strongarm, etc.
