The way the clintons get there is by counting hillary's vote in michigan but not giving obama any votes there, which is absurd, plus they don't count the caucus states. Hillary's all for counting all the votes, well I spent a lot of time participating in the iowa caucus, why does my vote not count? Same for all the other caucus states. If you actually count all the votes obama wins easily.
Plus, this is a primary election, the popular vote doesn't matter - it's about delegates. No-one's ever thought about counting the popular vote in a primary election before.
