It was very, very close, but it appears that Hillary has won

[bluestateguy]

99.9% of precincts reporting
700 state delegates for Hillary, 695 for Sanders
28 national delegates for Hillary, 21 for Sanders

I commend Bernie Sanders for his hard-fought campaign.

He will likely win New Hampshire.

2. It is the delegate count which counts.

3. Those 5 state delegates are a difference of the 6 coin tosses that Hillary won.

The delegates will be 22 to 22, in the end.

9. I concur.

7. +10,000 They know it but won't admit it. nt

5. K AND R!

6. How can there be a precinct delegate difference of

only 5 out of nearly 1,400-- 700 to 695-- a difference of a tiny fraction of one percent,

but with a national delegate distribution of 28 to 21?!

That doesn't seem quite fair, does it?

Is it because of geographic distribution?

I am not willing to concede a "victory" from voters to Hillary on the basis
of a statistical aberration, which is all the difference in precinct delegates amounts to...

The Hillary campaign is free to claim they've "won more delegates",
but I wouldn't call it "won fair and square". This is more like a gerrymandered result.

The precinct delegate count is a mere statistical aberration. There's no "margin of victory" there whatsoever. If we had the raw vote totals, it might well show a Sanders victory,
hidden because of that same geographical distribution.

At any rate, this result won't be certified by the state party for a while,
and until that time, it is just so much hot air.

Bernie won a moral victory here by campaigning to a virtual draw
with Hillary, the 800-pound establishment gorilla,
who took her campaign straight into the SEWER,
and still couldn't manage a statistically significant victory.

8. +10,000 nt

11. There are 8 super delegates. 4 had endorsed Hillary, so their numbers are included

in her 28.

The other 4 were uncommitted.

10. Spin! Spin, spin, spin!

Only a Warner Bros. Tazmanian Devil could spin faster.

Here, witness yourself, and see the destruction that ensues:

That what spin does.

The Iowa caucuses were a tie. Any other way to paint it is either abject delusion, or Tazmanian Devil worthy spin. In other words, utter rubbish.

Keep playing, however. It won't work, though.

Best regards merely on the basis of the hubris of your attempt.
