The Obama campaign is wrong

Delegate Math: Who Won Nevada?

UPDATE, 8:15 p.m: Both the chairwoman of the Nevada Democratic Party and a senior adviser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign are insisting that the contention that Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) won more delegates in today's caucus is incorrect.

"The calculations of national convention delegates being circulated are based upon an assumption that delegate preferences will remain the same between now and April 2008," said Jill Derby, the chairwoman of the state party. "We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support."

Howard Wolfson, communications director for Clinton, echoed that sentiment. "Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Caucuses today by winning a majority of the delegates at stake," he said. "The Obama campaign is wrong. Delegates for the national convention will not be determined until April 19."

1. the horse is dead. I live here. I am a delegate. I get to go to the county

convention in a month and still stand for my candidate and will all the other delegates and then a bit later, I go to the state convention. If all the delegates don't switch the number will still be the same. If any switch between now and the state convention, then the numbers could change.

2. Won't they only be switching

if someone drops out?

3. In other words the delegate count is not set in stone.

"If any switch between now and the state convention, then the numbers could change."
