Dear Obama Surrogate,
You are going to be on cable news shows in the next two weeks, and you are going to be confronted with the notion of the popular vote being a legitimate measuring stick.
Do not screw this up. Use the three obvious points
Point Number 1: If the popular vote determined the nominee, no candidate would ever go to Iowa or New Hampshire.
Point Number 2: If the popular vote determined the nominee, no state in its right mind would ever hold a caucus, instantly disenfranchising itself
Point Number 3: The arbitrary distinction between who gets to vote in these primaries is nothing like the general election
Texas gets a million more votes than similar overall population New York
(NY = closed, Texas = open)
Overall point: regardless of the fact that Obama will win the popular vote, it is completely illegitimate in this race. THIS IS NOT LIKE POPULAR VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
