Obama Edges Clinton in Delegate Count:

LAS VEGAS -- The Nevada Democratic caucus has turned into a kids' soccer game: everybody is a winner.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is the declared winner of the Nevada caucuses. But Sen. Barack Obama walked away with more delegates.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe called the delegate win significant because it pointed to Obama's support across the state, from Elko to Reno to sprawling Las Vegas, along with the rural counties in between. He called it "a demonstration of what a strong general election candidate (Obama) will be."

1. um ...

“I don’t know why they’re saying that,” said Jill Derby, President of the Nevada State Democratic Party, referring to the Obama campaign. “We don’t select our national delegates the way they’re saying. We won’t select national delegates for a few more months."

...

Egg meet face.

12. That's what Olbermann just said. He said Obama camp wrong.

[ray of light]

2. WTF? I thought I saw that Hillary won? WHO WON? Obama?

[ccpup]

3. Hillary won the Caucus

Obama's spinning like a top and the delegate question won't be settled for a few more months per Nevada rules.

[jillan]

7. Olbermann just confirmed what you said.

[ccpup]

9. smart man, that Olbermann

:evilgrin: Still, the spinning won't stop for several days. A lot can be told about someone by the way they lose a tough race.

11. Sort of

Jill Derbey is saying that it's not official until April. Her thinking is that Obama will be out by then and Obama's delegates will go for Hillary.

6. Hillary won. Obamites are trying to spin a 6 point loss into a win

[DJ13]

10. Hillary won, BUT

It sounds like delegates are apportioned partly by county.

Clinton won 6 counties, Obama won 11.

4. There's a quote from the President of the Nevada Democratic Party

that says the delegate count is not decided for a few months.

[rodeodance]

5. 'Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is the declared winner':: 3:1

[JackORoses]

15. 1:2

NH vs. IA and NV

In yo face RodeoClown!

[durrrty libby]

8. Sorry, Olbermann just said Obama camp is wrong about that

[Renew Deal]

13. No he didn't.

[JackORoses]

16. actually he said the delegates won't be officialized until later

but according to the formula in the Caucus rules, 13-Obama 12-Clinton will be the final count

The Hillarites are trying to muddy the waters.
