Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in Nevada, but Obama won where it really counts, and that's the number of delegates received.
Nevada's Delegate count:
Obama 13
Clinton 12
In a race this close, a small number of delegates could be the key to winning the nomination. Just something to keep an eye on as the nomination process goes forward.
Quote:
Yesterday's Nevada caucuses, in an odd twist reminiscent of the 2000 presidential race, had Clinton winning a greater number of caucus-goers, but capturing one fewer delegate to the Democratic National Convention than Obama.
Caucus rules - not unlike the electoral college system that had 2000 Democratic nominee Al Gore winning the popular vote but losing the electoral count to President Bush - mean that Obama could get 13 delegates, and Clinton, 12. The Clinton campaign insists it will end up with the larger portion of the delegate count, and the chairman of the Nevada Democratic party, Jill Derby, said the delegates won't actually be selected until April, when the party has its state convention.
