Obama Records His Second to Last Loss
The results are in for the Democratic Primary in South Dakota, and Hillary Clinton beat Barack Obama by double digits.
You’d think it was unanimous around the United States that Obama was destined to be the next President, but the reality is that his last two months of elections have been a study in failure.
According to Real Clear Politics, Obama has a slight edge over Hillary for the popular vote.
However, Obama recorded less than 50% of the popular vote.
And if you include Michigan, Hillary beats Obama by hundreds of thousands of votes for the total popular vote across all of the primaries.
Here are the winners for Democratic primaries over the past two months where Obama lost 50% of the time to Hillary:
- 06/03/08 Montana - Obama
- 06/03/08 South Dakota - Clinton
- 05/27/08 Idaho - Obama
- 05/20/08 Kentucky - Clinton
- 05/20/08 Oregon - Obama
- 05/13/08 Nebraska - Obama
- 05/13/08 West Virginia - Clinton
- 05/06/08 Indiana - Clinton
- 05/06/08 North Carolina - Obama
- 04/22/08 Pennsylvania - Clinton
So on June 3, 2008, Obama lost his last election for the primary season. Five months until the next election, and the next loss.
