Let's Kill the "Won the Tiebreaker" BS.

I saw some simpleton bring up the "But she won the tiebreaker" crud in a diary.
This is a lie. Let's break it down into real simple numbers, over the jump.
First: A tiebreaker is only used if there's a tie. So, let's look at the numbers.
As everyone knows, Hillary does not want to compare a count of Obama-won states vs. Clinton-won states. And the race is for delegates. So let's look at those numbers:
| Obama | Clinton |
| Pennsylvania | 73 | 85 |
| North Carolina | 63 | 47 |
| TOTAL | 136 | 132 |
There is no tiebreaker, because: THERE IS NO TIE.
I'm crud at math... But... um, it seems pretty simple.
Numbers are from Real Clear Politics.
