Hillary-Backer Evan Bayh: Super-Delegates Should Back Hillary Because Of Electoral College
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), one of Hillary Clinton's top surrogates in the Senate, is floating a new metric by which super-delegates should decide to back Hillary: That the states she's carried in the primaries represent more electoral votes than the state Barack Obama has carried.
"So who carried the states with the most Electoral College votes is an important factor to consider because ultimately, that’s how we choose the president of the United States," Bayh said yesterday on CNN.
The tally shows it's not an overwhelming difference: Hillary has carried states representing 219 electoral votes, plus 44 from the rogue primaries in Florida and Michigan, while Obama has thus far carried states making up 202 votes.
