"She [Clinton] wasn't formally vetted ..."

Formally, schmormally! I'd say having you and your husband investigated by an Independent Counsel, not to mention the muscle of the whole Republican Party, for over 8 years -- BEFORE you ever run for any office yourself -- that's pretty thorough "vetting." Plus, she was under intense scrutiny both times she ran for the US Senate seat for New York. All that before she declared herself a candidate for President. I still say Hillary Clinton's probably been the most investigated candidate for the Presidency in the last 50 years, if not in the history of our country.

"... Obama didn't necessarily have more support, he just had support from obscure places."

Obama raised a lot more money than Clinton ever did, without any donor giving more than $2,000. (Clinton had to lend her campaign several million of her own money and had to borrow a lot more which she still is having trouble paying back.)

And he got more votes, both from individual citizens and from Super Delegates, than Clinton did.   (Not to mention that Clinton had Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" Republican voters voting for her in Democratic Primaries to try to make her the Dem nominee because they thought she'd be easier to defeat.)

PS,
In case you've overlooked it, in the US, people from "obscure places" are supposed to have their votes count the same as people from everywhere else.
