How come the media ignored the fact that Obama didn't carry California or Illinois at the Convention?

Question

This is a huge deal.

I lived in California for over ten years and understand that the average IQ is higher out there--I guess they realized that Obama doesn't have a chance and they couldn't be convinced to give up on Hillary.

Illinois is his home state and he couldn't win that either. Both states took a pass on nominating him. What does this mean to his overall chances of success?

Answer 1

You just don't have a clue about how things work, do you?

Maybe you didn't live in California long enough.

Answer 2

THEY WANTED TO HAVE NEW YORK PUT HIM OVER THE TOP. THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS A MOCKERY OF A TRAVESTY OF A SHAM.

Answer 3

That was all orchestrated and rehearsed.  California passed so they would not reach the number of delegates needed too early, then Illinois passed so it could later defer to New York.  It was staged.  Remember New Mexico said they would defer to Illinois, then Illinois said they would defer to New York, then Hillary came out and made the motion to nominate Obama by acclamation.  It was all theatrics.

Answer 4

I too live in Ca, and he also did not cary our very liberal neighbors to the East of us, Nevada.

Answer 5

I understand why the media would not print or say anything negative about the anointed one, but what in the world makes you think that the average IQ in california is higher.  I lived there for awhile and I thought everyone was either nuts or retarded.

Answer 6

Oh please, they took a pass so that New York, Hillary's state would be able to put him over the top.  And she would be the one to announce it.

Answer 7

People in Hawaii feel like they are  Obama's true home state. (since he was raised there and graduated from high-school there). There were so many Obama voters for the prelims that they ran out of ballots!
