via The Nation and it looks accurate, the campaign is touting it. Hmm
OBAMA WINS MOST NEVADA DELEGATES...Barack Obama may have won the most delegates in Saturday's Nevada Caucus, even though Hillary Clinton bested his statewide turnout by about six points.
A source with knowledge of the Nevada Democratic Party's projections told The Nation that under the arcane weighting system, Obama would win 13 national convention delegates and Clinton would win 12 delegates. The state party has not released an official count yet.
Barack Obama released an official statement celebrating a delegate victory. "We came from over twenty-five points behind to win more national convention delegates than Hillary Clinton because we performed well all across the state, including rural areas where Democrats have traditionally struggled," he said.
Aaah yeah. My Christmas wish might still come true. Hillary loses by 125 votes in Florida.
Then let's see the fur fly!

The camp of B.O. should not trump this too much. Wasn't this how Bush stole the presidency from Gore?
Imagine:
Barack Hussein Obama = George Walker Bush
That would be an unfortunate analogy indeed.

You mean when Gore tried to steal Florida from Bush by challenging the votes of our men and women in the military overseas who voted by absentee ballot? Back under your rock slutford.

Dear Mr. Stratford,
It's been over 7 years since the 2000 election and you still do not have a grasp on reality. Virtually every independent recount of the ALL of the precincts in Florida proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bush won fair and square. The Supreme Court got it right by not allowing the FLA Supreme Court to rewrite election law retroactively. If you followed the story dispassionately and without emotion, you would know this. I like neither Bush nor Gore going into the election. I voted for Bush because Gore didn't have the experience and is a died-in-the-wool socialist. As soon as he tried to cherry-pick votes by asking for recounts in ONLY democRat controlled counties, I knew I hated him more than I hate broccoli. Gore's a weasel and he proves it every day with his globaloney scam to take money out of my pocket. He's nothing but a con-artist and carnival barker.

umm the AP is stating that it is Clinton w/ 13 delegates and Obama w/12..
Can anyone clarify??

Donna, ever since the N.H. voter polling fiasco, the AP credibility regarding projected 'winners' is non-existent ... do what I do and go to sleep. By the time you wake up, all the smoke will have cleared and all the votes will be counted!

FJ Stratford- Barak Obama is just following the rules that the Democrats set up...They put an insurance policy into their rules after McGovern won the nomination..I guess they figured the voters were just too dumb to pick a candidate. The Super Delegates represent 40% of the nomination process.
