Talk:2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries

Caucuses are being discouraged because they are undemocratic.
So why does this page point out Obama’s Michigan “no votes” but not the fact Hillary lost hundreds of thousands of votes because states held undemocratic caucuses? So Hillary won the Texas popular vote…but lost the much smaller turnout caucus and Obama ended up with more delegates out of Texas than Clinton. And the notion Obama’s strategy was to focus on the Texas caucus and ignore the popular vote is absurd. Obama benefited greatly from undemocratic caucuses and when Bernie Sanders benefited from them in 2016 Democrats realized they needed to get rid of them—because caucuses are just as undemocratic as superdelegates. So Hillary won the popular vote and any discussion about Michigan should also include Texas and the fact caucuses are now seen as undemocratic. Clam chowdah (talk) 00:43, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Timeline?
It would be great to see a timeline of how states voted. When did Obama surpass Clinton? 82.147.226.185 (talk) 06:38, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
