Clinton's Electionn Strategy
In 1999 I wrote and self-published a Book titled: United we Stand - By Diversity we Fall. In this
book, on page 4, I pointed out that our Presidential Elections are won, not by the popular vote but by the Electoral College. At the time of my writing subject book, I further noted
that , to win the electoral votes necessary to win you only needed 11 States. The demographics
at that time showed the top 11 eleven states, if they were the only states won, could give the winner of these eleven states the Presidency:
CA-54 IL -22 OH -21 NC - 14
TX-32 NY-33 MI - 18 VA - 12
NJ -15 FL-25 PA-23 270 Total Electoral votes.
At the time the total Electoral Votes, for all states was 539 - 270 votes would give a one vote majority winner. The demographics at this time have made some changes - nevertheless the principle stands. This is not to say that one could also win by getting most of the big states and
coupled with several other states, could still produce a winner.
This is exactly what the Clinton's planned wass to, start with. Get enough of the Big Numbered
electoral states, coupled with enough small states and you can still come out the winner
If folks can recall the Election of 2000, this is why Florida was a must win state for either
Gore or Bush. Bush Won! All this crap about Bush stealing the election was and still is crap.
By winning the majority of the electoral college votes Bush won the Election. Only the ignorants
still cry out that Bush stole the election!
This is what the Clinton's Plan to show to the still uncommitted Delegates that without the big
states, Obama cannot win!
