4. Did Hillary win more delegates in S. Carolina than Obama?
from the percentages that would be a tough argument to swallow.

8. if one loses the popular vote, one could be seen as losing the race
and a concession speech might be seen as polite. besides, the delegates in NV aren't decided until mid-April.

6. He won the delegates, he wasn't in a position to concede
What was he supposed to concede? "I won the most delegates but I concede? Thats just stupid.

21. How come you never read this?
UPDATE 7:12 p.m.: AP and NBC have now changed their delegate counts to 13 for Obama and 12 for Clinton.

***********

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) won today's raw vote in Nevada but senior aides to Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) believe they have narrowly won the fight for delegates in the Silver State.

In a just completed conference call with Obama campaign manager David Plouffe and director of delegate selection Jeff Berman argued that the Illinois Senator will leave Nevada today with 13 pledged delegates to 12 for Clinton thanks the weighting of northern and rural areas in the state.

An Associated Press official on the call suggested that Obama's campaign may well be right and the organization was looking seriously at its own math.

While the process of delegate apportionment is extremely complicated, it boils down to this: in the places that Clinton won, there were an even number of delegates that were split between she and Obama. In the places Obama won, there were an odd number of delegates, meaning that he often took two delegates to one for Clinton.

"On one very important measure, we had a slight lead," said Plouffe. "Just as important as the number is why that is: we showed real strength statewide."

Plouffe demurred when asked whether if Obama turned out to have won the delegate count, he should be declared the victor in Nevada.

For her part, Clinton sought to downplay the dispute over delegates.

"This is about delegates but it's also about what people are voting for and who they think the best president would be," Clinton said in Las Vegas. "Find it somewhat strange that there is such a reaction when this was a very effective campaign to reach as many people as possible and we did and I am very proud of that."

12. Bill gave it for her
Don't ya know when the first woman climbed Everest she had her husband drag her up to the summit by a rope. That when Anne Bancroft crossed the North Pole a man had to show her the way. <sarcasm>

Hillary a feminist? My ass. She set the womans movement back 50 years.
