2. And

It doesn't matter, a win is a win is a win is a win.

9. There are only 25 pledged delegates available, I believe

Perhaps those totals include the superdelegates?

17. probably

Hillary's strength lies in the Supers; they are squarely against non establishment change candidates. They don't appreciate progressives trying to tell them what to do.

16. From Andrew Sullivan

Sixteen of the 25 delegates are allocated proportionally to presidential candidates based on the support for the candidates in each of the state�s three Congressional districts. Nine delegates are allocated to candidates based on the support among all of the delegates attending the convention. The remaining eight unpledged delegates are chosen from party leaders.

11. One more way the caucauses are f*ed up! I recall a discrepancy in Iowa too

Didn't Hillary get more than Obama there or something? How irrationals are these things? I first learned the word caucus in Alice in Wonderland...I still don't know what it means.

12. MSNBC and CNN cannot give what Nevada has not decided yet.

Delegates will be decided April 18-20th

On Jan. 19, party caucuses meet in each precinct to choose delegates to county conventions. The delegates selected are not bound to any candidate. At the county conventions on Feb. 23, delegates to the state convention are chosen. They are not bound to any candidate. The state convention is April 18-20, during which delegates choose 25 of the 33 delegates to the national convention. Sixteen of the 25 delegates are allocated proportionally to presidential candidates based on the support for the candidates in each of the state�s three Congressional districts. Nine delegates are allocated to candidates based on the support among all of the delegates attending the convention. The remaining eight unpledged delegates are chosen from party leaders.

15. Here's the ABC Link

I'm still confused as hell though.

I hope this holds up, otherwise it looks very bad for Obama.

20. Its based on congressional districts.....

and accordingly, Obama won support by a plurality in more districts. That is all.

19. For practical purposes, Nevada is a tie between Clinton & Obama

Either way, it doesn't matter in the long run. Only 1 delegate difference.
