Wait, Obama Won More Delegates Today?

I'm hearing David Axelrod on MSNBC. He's saying Obama won 13 and Clinton won 12.

huh?

6. Axelrod said Obama won the rural areas

and those are weighed more heavily.

8. That's including the 3 superdelegates who had previously announced.

without supers, they are tied at 37.

2. Some of the superdelegates were already comitted and the caucus locations

were not evenly weighted...so it's entirely possible.

7. That was for the Caesar Palace caucus. 25 delegates were available there.

At least that's how they explained it on television.

4. Vis versa, I believe.

Clinton won 13
Obama 12

They are now tied with 37 apiece.

12. Let's wait until all votes are counted but I heard him say that too

because Hillary won big in Las Vegas while Obama won big in rural areas and places like Reno and Elks.

13. YES. He won 13 and Hillary won 12. And as Axelrod said WOLFSON said, "It's all about the

delegates." (And Superdelegates don't count since they're not committed.)

14. If this is true, then Obama officially WINs Nevada, am I right?

16. you could see it that way...

that's what they're sayin now...

from what I've seen - it was a royal clusterfuck all around...NOT a good process at all...

I wonder if they're gonna keep that system for the next time...

Talked to an Obama supporter today and he said that Nevada had the same thing last time and less than 2000 persons showed up for the ENTER STATE...I thought this was the first time Nevada had a caucus and I live here! (altho I didn't vote in the primaries last time around in 04)...
