CNN’s odd math
The image above comes from CNN’s Election Center as of this morning. I’m just amused at it right now.

It may be odd math, but unfortunately (for America) it’s correct math.
The check just means that Shrillary won the New Hampshire vote (39% to Barack’s 37%, I believe?). Hill-Bill and Barack split the delegates 9-9. Of the superdelegates, though, 2 support Hillary and 3 support Obama. So even though Hillary won the election, Barack pulled more delegates.
Perhaps they should have ordered the tables by who received the most delegates… *shrug*. Oddly, it seems that the algorithm that puts Hillary on top was intentional.
P.S. I should clarify that when I say “unfortunately (for America)”, i meant that it’s unfortunate that it looks like Hillary won a state she *sort of* didn’t.
Obama is obviously the better candidate out of the two.
