Anonymous Edit
So Sen. Clinton is still arguing the I won the popular vote if you count Florida and Michigan meme. But did she? If we just count Florida, she did not . Per RCP , just counting Florida, Obama still has the advantage by some 300,000 votes. Counting Michigan is a much more problematic. In that case, Clinton's argument requires us to believe that had Obama's name actually been on the ballot in Michigan he would have received around 11% (or fewer) of the 238,168 votes that went to Scanning up and down the RCP list , I don't see a single state where Obama received less than 25% of the votes cast.

America will not be ignored!  American voters will not be ignored and their right to vote!  The military overseas and here in the United States that are fighting day and night to protect this country and to fight for our freedom will not be ignored.  We will not have a President that is willing to "talk" to the very enemy that has killed and injured our fellow soldiers and is jeopardizing our very way of life in America for our families across this great nation!  The very enemy that is trying to blow us up with backpack suicide bombers!  Obama has never been in the military, has never fought for this country and is DEFINITELY NOT OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF! Hillary, the military of this great nation is telling you to tell Obama, "BRING IT ON!"  WE, THE MILITARY WANT A FIGHTER, YOU ARE OUR NEXT COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND WE SALUTE YOU WITH OUR HEARTS AND SOULS!
