Get to know the new metric...or else.

"In the beginning, it was about momentum. When she lost momentum, it was about pledged delegates. When she lost pledged delegates, it was about the popular vote. And now that she’s on her way to losing the popular vote, it’s about the number of electoral votes held by the states in which the candidates have won primary victories." Comrades! Pleddel and popvote now fullwise ungood and goldstein. The new metric of our glorious success is and has always been Elecvote. Be wary of thoughtcrime, brothers and sisters. Also, chocorat going up 15%.

Speaking of Newspeak, this may work against Sen. Obama, but I feel forced to admit it: His lead in pledged delegates, the popular vote, and the number of states won notwithstanding, Sen. Clinton won every state with "New" in its name --- New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York. And, since the superdelegates are looking to pick a "new" president, their choice is sadly all too clear. I'd hoped and assumed Sen. Obama would be our nominee, but you just can't argue with ironclad logic like that.
