Over at The War Room, Time Grieve highlighted a Washington Post headline from this morning that said, "44 Percent Vote Against Clinton." The article was about Clinton's meaningless win in Michigan yesterday (meaningless because no delegates were rewarded and Obama, et al were not on the ballot) where 44 percent voted for "uncommitted."
It is an absurd way to refer to her victory. It reminded me of Chris Matthews's comments before the Iowa caucus, when he said "if you look at the numbers as they're shaping up, it looks to me like even if Hillary Clinton does manage to squeak it tonight -- I don't think she will -- she's been rejected here in Iowa by two-thirds of the Democratic Party."
To recap, Clinton lost 61 percent of the vote in New Hampshire. Bill Clinton lost 67 percent of the vote in 1992. And I'm guessing that with this logic, W. won 48 percent of the vote in 2000. Got it.
