The group "Women Count PAC" has a newspaper ad today that tells superdelegates "You're Still Not Listening. Our Votes Are Our Voices."
"HEAR THIS: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. More people voted for her than any primary candidate in American history…"
This claim is only true, by the way, if you award Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-Illinois, more than 300,000 votes from Michigan and give Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, zero votes from that state.
"AND THIS: More than 21 million women voted in this primary. That's 14 million more than the 7 million who voted in 2004. That's not only a 200 percent increase -- that's a lot of women…Like Hillary, we do not back down and we do not quit…You are about to make the most important decision of your life. The future of America's children is at stake. This moment must transcend politics.
"Superdelegates, look at the facts. The voters have spoken. And remember, this is not about you. It's about us."
OK, so let's get this straight. Clinton has received 17 million votes. The ad claims "more than 21 million women voted." By implication Clinton did not receive all the female votes. Not even close, unless only women voted for her (and what would that say?). So tell me why, again, supporting a candidate other than Clinton is not respecting the female vote?
