1. there is no confirmation to that

But it's a good thought!

2. He just won Clark County by 600 delegates,

but they have not finalized. DUer kiva is at the convention and keeping me informed as she can.

He also won Washoe County and I think a couple of others so far - Clark County is the largest, though.

4. Sanders won Washoe

306 to 215.

[enlightenment]

19. Excellent.

I think one of my FB friends was selected as a delegate up there.

[smiley]

3. wow, just wow.

If true, this is great news!

I read through the thread and it seems legit, but I'm going to contain my excitement until I hear an official announcement.

[mak3cats]

5. The Twitter page of the Clark County Dems says he won the county...

...and I believe the state, now.

6. This whole process is too bizzare!

Why would a person agree to be a delegate and then not show up?

[HubertHeaver]

9. Have to go to work? Can't get a baby-sitter?

Lose enthusiasm? Have second thoughts? Life happens.

[leftcoastmountains]

12. Sorry but I find it just too flakey.

Yes life happens but usually when making such a commitment
one takes all that into consideration.

[HubertHeaver]

13. One would think so.

I read it as a complete lack of enthusiasm for one of the candidates.

[noamnety]

7. so is the credentials fight over?

I'm so confused about what's going on - is the other issue assumed to be a sort of nonissue now, if it's on the dem's twitter?

[Donkees]

10. You're not alone :)

[retrowire]

8. Hmmmm... This is good news nt.

[Gregorian]

11. Not sure, but it sounds like delegates changing their minds. Or other things.

I actually thought this would happen, if that's what this is, but much later in the primary. Actually, that's just happened too. So this is going to get interesting.

I read Clinton delegates didn't show up, and their replacements went with Bernie. From the reddit link-

Clinton's delegates didn't all show up. When that happens, the missing delegates are replaced with alternates. There were many missing delegates and the alternates overwhelmingly went to Bernie.

edit- the more I read, the less I believe this will change anything, UNLESS the delegates that follow are somehow Bernie supporters, one way or another. I don't think this changes anything. We'll see.

14. Clinton 2390 delegates. Sanders 2958 delegates! Now it goes to the State convention, so those

Numbers could change (for the better or worse...depending on who shows up) Clinton delegates DIDN'T SHOW UP and/or alternate delegates flipped! Does anyone know when the Nevada state convention is? Some posts from the link...

Precinct caucuses elect delegates to county conventions. The national delegate counts announced after the caucuses are just projections assuming equivalent turnout at all subsequent tiers that lead to the actual selection of Nevada's national delegates at their state convention. Sanders got better turnout at the county tier than Hillary did, for the highest-population county in the state, so we win.

Clinton 2390 delegates. Sanders 2958 delegates

GO BERNIE!

That's GREAT NEWS and ISN'T GOOD FOR Ms. Inevitable!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

15. so funny

I guess the election fraud in nevada didn't work.nevada flipping from clinton to bernie should be big news of course MSM won't
mention it.Bernie may.

This means bernie moved closer in pledged delegates.

Clinton has every advantage yet recently outside of south with no voter fraud she keeps losing and now her people didn't show up
at nevada state convention allowing bernie to flip it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. If I am understanding this - today was the county conventions. Bernie ended up flipping Clark County

the largest county in Nevada (71% of the state population - Las Vegas - where Harry Reid intervened on Clinton's behalf!) and because he flipped Clark County, he came out ahead in delegates at THE COUNTY LEVEL...now they'll have a Nevada State convention (no idea when) and the delegate count could change again...if people flip or don't show.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

18. They can't flip at the State level.

Delegates at that level are bound.

The convention is May 14th.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Oooooh! So he WON NEVADA! This needs to explode Twitter and the Internet!!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[enlightenment]

25. I was wrong.

They are not bound at the County level. Many apologies.

That said, I strongly suspect the state will flip for Bernie in May.

[enlightenment]

17. May 14th, in Las Vegas.

I'll add this little video DUer kiva shared from the convention today.

It was pretty early, but after word got out that the Credentials Committee Chair was summarily ousted by the All Clinton Executive Committee of the County party.

Just goes to show, I think.

[Donkees]

20. Thank You kiva and dedicated Bernie supporters!

[enlightenment]

21. I'll pass that along so she can

say 'my pleasure!' herself!

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. Thank you....

I read about all the Clinton cheating today. She cannot win without cheating - that's now perfectly clear!

Looks like Bernie picked up another state! She can't flip that many delegates at the state convention!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

23. What the . . . ??

Are you series?
This is HUGH!!!

[Donkees]

27. YOOJ!!!

[Jarqui]

26. Clinton's campaign manager, Mook, is from Nevada

This is not going to go over well at Clinton's campaign HQ.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. That makes this that much SWEETER!

Mook is an arrogant, nasty little Ahole.

I'm so glad this is his state.
