"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet achieved nuclear capability." -- Robert Byrd, October 2002

By: Byron YorkThere have been four quarters in the Democratic presidential nomination battle. We’re late in the fourth quarter now, and when it’s over, Hillary Clinton will likely have won three of the quarters — and won the most votes overall — but lost the game.The first quarter was the shortest and most intense, beginning with Iowa and including New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina, and Florida. When one includes Florida, where both candidates’ names were on the ballot, and excludes Michigan, where Obama’s was not, Clinton won the popular vote in that period, with 1,124,380 votes to Obama’s 975,927 — an edge of 148,453 votes. (The number seems precise, but it isn’t; it’s not possible to peg the exact number of votes Clinton and Barack Obama won, because some critical races — in this quarter, Iowa — didn’t result in official popular vote tallies. These numbers are from the RealClearPolitics totals from states with official vote totals.)The second quarter consisted entirely of Super Tuesday primaries, and Clinton won that one, too, amassing 8,086,836 votes to Obama’s 8,000,574, a margin of 86,262 votes. At that point — halftime? — when one counts the first two quarters, Clinton’s popular vote lead was 234,715 votes out of more than 18 million votes cast for the two candidates.It’s often been said that Clinton, who assumed she would wrap up the nomination on Super Tuesday, had no plan for what followed. And in the third quarter, which began in the Virgin Islands on February 9 and ended in Wisconsin on February 19, Obama blew her away. He won all nine contests in that period, collecting 2,192,813 votes to Clinton’s 1,313,256. The victories — by a margin of 879,557 votes — gave the Obama campaign a clear sense of momentum and the popular-vote lead. Whereas Clinton led by 234,715 votes at halftime, by the end of the third quarter, Obama’s lead was 644,842.
