The story has now become about how Obama won more delegates. Hillary's mo thwarted?

Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 08:07 PM by Unsane

It's gotta annoy camp Clinton. They expected to play this off like some sort of dominant win. South Carolina has therefore become hugely important. In my view, Obama did what he needed to do in NV: keep it close. He got even more than that---he got more delegates than his opponent.

2. He did not get more delegates. That was a lie by the Obama camp

and more reason why I do not support him. Axelrod got on TV and said they won. Obama gave a victory speech. And Clinton won.

5. He who they claim can't be denied will say they won by hook or crook.

11. Your wrong

he did get more delegates. They are just not the final delegates but if his delegates hold firm he ends up winning nevada.

That's only the story here on DU

MSNBC: Clinton, Romney win in NV
CNN: Has a table with a red checkmark next to Clinton's name.
Yahoo news: Clinton has Momentum
ABC: Clinton Tightens Grip with Nevada Win

That's the story.

9. Coming from the people who have been calling her 'inevitable'

for the past two years, I take that with a huge fucking grain of salt.

Basically, she's got one loss and two ties, going into SC where she'll be lucky to get a solid 2nd place.

She has no momemtum - just a certain degree of inertia from the push she's gotten from the media since '05 and it was obvious she was going to run.

Instead of being the clear leader going into super tuesday, she's scrambling to hang on.

2/5 will tell.

6. He did well in fighting back the lead she had only a month ago

But she won and he didn't.

7. I agree. The Hillary camp must be going nuts.

Not DUers. I mean the actual campaign. SC just became bigger.

8. Well, Obama did come from behind and win more delegates. That's the story.

The rest is noise.

14. The delegate story isnt so clear-cut, tho...

He may have won 1 more delegate at this stage, but my understanding that this is a multi-stage caucusing system in which the state's final delegates are chosen later.

These are deemed non-binding.

12. DU spin does not reflect how the media is playing it

Read the headlines of the NY Times, LA Times, Chicago Trib, Miami Herald and Boston Globe and get back to us.
