Obama supporters shot themselves in the foot after Nevada
"It's about the delegates! That's all that matters!"

When it is shown that Hillary won more delegates, it will be:

"We won more states! That's all that matters!"

1. Hillary got Harry Reid to give it to her ...just wait ...not all the info is out
Harry Reid had the state party pay $12,000. to fly Billbo out for the Tahoe Summit in August and then he campaigned for the Nevada Party with Hillary fundraisers on the same ticket. That is one of many things that has been reported the SOS and the FEC for investigation ...it ain't over yet.

Don't get me started about the Hillary Clinton caucus manual ...

4. Obama camp was also disorganized for the caucuses in Nevada
Clearly tonight they learned from their mistakes tonight with a sweep of the caucus states.

5. when you had clinton supporters slamming the doors shut at precincts statewide
to keep additional people out, you'd be disorganized too! Oh, but it was in the clinton caucus rulebook!

7. I've talked to people that were working for Obama in Nevada
And they say that while there were was some foul play involved, there were some things they could've done better in Nevada. Clearly they recognized what those things were and got it together last night.

6. Don't count your delegates before they're snatched.
Discounting the superdelegates, Obama is likely to be in the lead before mid-day Wednesday.

8. Well, here it is shown that Obama one more delegates.
In a surprise twist after a chaotic Super Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) passed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in network tallies of the number of delegates the candidates racked up last night.

The Obama camp now projects topping Clinton by 13 delegates, 847 to 834.

10. CNN has Hillary at 783 Delegates and Obama at 709 Delegates. I don't think Ca. is in yet though, is?
Also, Politico is quoting the Obama campaign who will try to spin it their way.

9. Regardless of what people say to spin things
At the end of the day winning more delegates is what matters.

11. well, bitlir, I see your wielding that sloppy broad brush again
I've never said anything of the sort. It is about both delegates and states won and popular vote and superdelegates. And even someone like you, should be able to figure out that's it's all tied up.
