7. Only in "DU-Land"

:)

[robbedvoter]

2. 3 losses - 3 excuses: "recount!" "No opposition!" "More delegates"

Anyone see a pattern?

[BenDavid]

3. And that is the way it should be reported. There is no conspiracy

oabam folks....HRC won and that is what 51% means.....she had a majority...hell, better then what obama had in iowa.....

HRC won nevada. won with the support of the trade unions. won with the big support of the women of nevada and won with the great support of the hispanic vote......all true....

and one other thing I see coming out of this great turnout for hrc within the hispanic community.....hrc put in play nevada in nov. as kerry lost this state in 04.....puts into play New Mexico which kerry lost in 04 and puts into play arizona in which kerry lost in 04....

now lets see if hrc wins all tHE states kerry won in 04 and wins those three states above, what do you have? uh huh you have
PRESIDENT ELECT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON....

8. Hillary also won the people who consider themselves

very liberal. That was interesting to me.

I think Bush got 40% of the Hispanic vote. Dems really need that ethnic group.

4. Not everyone apparently agrees.

This, for example: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4125334

My assertion, which I made several times in that thread, is that the vast majority of people will never make it past the headlines. The headlines, as you demonstrated, indicate a Clinton win.

[ruggerson]

10. Even if you read the stories

the delegate count is mentioned just in passing.

[TwilightZone]

11. Agreed.

Even many of the blogs on the left (Crooks and Liars, etc.) are reporting it as a Clinton win on their main pages.

[ruggerson]

13. "DU-land" tries to spin it differently than the rest of the world

[TwilightZone]

15. More accurately...

a rather vocal, rather persistent sub-segment of DU-land. ;)

[ruggerson]

16. True

the sub-segment that is a bit detached from reality

[rodeodance]

5. The comeback gal is on a roll--She got the People's vote today. Now 3:1

[papau]

6. Looks like Hillary's pledged delegate count lead stands at 210 Hillary to 115 Obama to 46 Edwards

33 delegates in NV of which 12 for H and 13 for O have been awarded - The remaining eight unpledged delegates are chosen from party leaders. Sixteen of the 25 delegates were allocated proportionally to presidential candidates based on the support for the candidates in each of the state’s three Congressional districts, and Nine delegates were allocated to candidates based on the support among all of the delegates attending the convention (but note that in NV "pledged" means little as in 04 the 5 delegates that were to be pledge to Dean where chosen as delagates for Kerry - the NV convention in the Spring is not bound by the caucus vote).

Super-delegates that are pledged are now 77-170-28 (the AP counts 98-200-34 - - while CBS counts it as 88-195-41 and CNN says 85-174-34) without Michigan and Florida http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/when-superdelegate-isnt-so-super.html).

demconwatch therefore reports the 1/19 post NV situation as 115-210-46 without Michigan and Florida

The 45 SC delegates should split no "worse" than 25 to 15 to 5 in favor of Obama.

So the 38-36-18 current split before super-delagates should be around 63-51-23 going into 1/29 Florida and then 2/5.

So I expect Obama to improve after SC so as to make the delegate race 140 (O) to 225 (H) to 39 (E)

This may be a long race.
