Good God -- I was so busy today, I forgota bout the caucus

[LostinVA]

I take it HRC won by a few percentage points, but there's confusion about the delgates???

I'm not being snarky, I really would like a "weecap." Thanks!

on edit: Wait, I'm reading now on threads that HRC rigged this one, too.

Jeebus.

1. There's no confusion, really

According to the rules of the State of Nevada, Obama has more delegates. Though Hillary actually had more bodies in attendance.

I believe it comes down to Hillary winning Las Vegas, and Obama winning the rest of the state.

2. Hillary won by 5-6%

but Obama won more counties and ended up with 13 delegates to her 12. Edwards had a poor showing and only got 4% and no delegates.

3. Clinton won by 6%, 51-45

The confusion is the 13 vs 12 delegates. I don't understand it, myself. :shrug:

15. Think of it as a minature version of the Electoral College.

I don't know the details about Nevada, but in New York each congressional district gets a certain number of delegates and some delegates are awarded at-large based on the total popular vote. In the primary, you vote for a candidate and a slate of delegates.

19. How did your candidate do?

Or didn't Mercer caucus?

[Lost-in-FL]

4. Recap...

HRC won...

... but Obama grabbed more delegates than HRC...

... and Democrats are still fighting each other.

5. Clinton won the state by 6% and Nevada is disagreeing on the Obama spin on more delegates.

Hmm, who to believe. Nevada, or Obama.

*ponders*

9. ROFL

B-)

6. Hill won by 6%, and the prez of the NV dem party said that Obama's claim

that he won more delegates is false.

7. That would be a Rory Reid person? nt

[Clintonista2]

10. Nope, that would be a Jill Derby person, president of the NV state democratic party:

“I don’t know why they’re saying that,” said Jill Derby, President of the Nevada State Democratic Party, referring to the Obama campaign. “We don’t select our national delegates the way they’re saying. We won’t select national delegates for a few more months"

12. And MSNBC - including KO, are helping spin the

spin for Obama. KO said that the NV State Chair "straddled the fence" in their statement.

KO has been doing a good deal of low grade Obama promotion lately. I guess he doesn't think we notice. Ummh?

[sandnsea]

14. The number of delegates was decided today

The actual physical delegates will be decided later. That's the way it's always done and Jill Derby damn well knows it.

[hedgehog]

17. who's "we", kimosabe?

I would assume that "we" are the delegates selected today.

8. The NH party can't even run a primary without it being DIEBOLDed

Not exactly a reliable source. :evilgrin:

[Clintonista2]

11. NV party not NH

I corrected it like 10 seconds after I posted it.

[goldcanyonaz]

13. We've moved onto Nevada...

[jackson_dem]

16. In the real world Hillary won, Obama lost. In Hopeworld they think Obama won

[LostinVA]

18. Great -- thnaks!

We were gone from 10 am until after 8:00 pm.

Again --thanks for the "weecap."
