Presidential math(s)
Despite the fact that my voice has such global influence, I am not in the business of endorsing US Presidential candidates. (Sorry Hillary, Barack, John.)
That said, those of you who follow The Sixth Sense will no doubt have detected a definite slant towards Obama in the fight for the Democratic nomination.
The last few days have uncovered another reason why I have this slant: Hillary is terrible at math(s).
For some bizarre reason she thinks she has a larger share of the popular vote than Obama. (Details here). Sadly - for her - no one else agrees. Or, to put it another way, everyone else knows how to actually add up.
This is SERIOUS manipulation of numbers that seems to be either absolute desperation or downright dirty. Or possibly a combination of both.
Whatever the case, these are not the kind of qualities I’d be looking for in a potential President of the United States of America.
UPDATE:
- There’s a good, semi-related piece by Michael Tomasky in today’s Guardian. Check it out.
- Also, Clinton is getting into more and more debt. $31 million to be precise. Details here.
