Hillary herself makes Michigan-is-us claim

clintonind

We mentioned earlier that the Clinton campaign was arguing that it leads in the popular vote post-Pennsylvania, based on giving Hillary a 328,000 to 0 victory in Michigan, where Obama wasn't on the ballot and the thousands who voted against her marked "uncommitted," as well as votes from the uncontested Florida primary.

It turns out that it's not just the campaign that's making that argument -- it's Hillary herself!!

"It's a very close race but if you count as I count the 2.3 million people who voted in Michigan and Florida then we are going to build on that."

Sure. And maybe the Patriots can sneak back on the field while the Giants aren't there, throw a touchdown to Moss, and claim the Super Bowl trophy.

But if, instead of counting as Hillary does, you count like a rational human being not yet so consumed by self-interest that you have been rendered incapable of feeling shame about making ridiculous arguments, she's still behind by 482,000 votes.

John, looks like you were becoming a CPA.

But Hillary Soprano has her own CPA so they are going to count the votes their way.
