Still only 89% reporting in Nevada& MSNBC says Clinton only has 1 delegate more than Obama

[ursi]

at this point.

Not sure how that works out. They didn't say exact totals of the delegates.

[oasis]

1. Did you get that information from Chris (I Hate Hillary) Matthews?

[MADem]

3. .....

:rofl:

I heard they elected him head of the Wimmen-Haters Club!

[ursi]

5. no, it was some guy with dark hair?? but he didn't say what the delegate #s were

I am not understanding that part very well since this is our first every caucus and I've never been part of one before. Thanks.

2. Well thers only 25 delegates in play in Nevada

So I guess its 13 to Clinton and 12 to Obama

[William769]

7. Don't forget the eight Super deleagtes.

[tekisui]

4. Many precints are at 100% reporting.

Not much is going to change with the others. Obama or Clinton are clear winners in what is left.

According to CNN:
Clinton 13
Obama 12

That is the 25 up for grabs today.

[ursi]

8. so does that mean Edwards delegates don't count?

like in our precinct it went like this:

Obama - 5
Clinton - 2
Edwards - 1

But those above get to go to the State convention? Right?

so what do they do? total each precinct to add up statewide? to go to the national?

I am sorry, I don't understand this?

9. They don't because he did not reach the 15% mark

[tekisui]

12. 25 delegates were in play today, statewide.

Of those 13 went to Clinton, 12 to Obama, and 0 to Edwards.

I don't know how those delegates are divided across the state, but I believe that a 15% finish is required to earn one.

My understanding is unless Edwards has some superdelegates from Nevada, he won't receive any delegates from that state.

[ursi]

14. if state assembly and senate people count, he had a few???

[tekisui]

16. Those would be the "superdelegates".

Those like governors, state reps, senators,etc. They are non-pledged, meaning they can change, and it is up to them.

I don't watch those as closely, but if some superdelegates have made it public that they are for Edwards, they will count at the Convention, given Edwards stays in.

6. Uh, 1 delegate more? I tried that argument after Iowa where Obama got 1 delegate...

...more than Hillary. I was told a win is a win.....

[ursi]

13. I understand that, but want to understand this on a national level, thanks!

[DemReadingDU]

10. So only appx 10,000 voted Democratic, but appx 37,000 Repubs?

11. This is how Nevada caucus works: Todays caucus

Jan. 19, party caucuses met in each precinct to choose delegates to county conventions. The delegates selected are not bound to any candidate. At the county conventions on Feb. 23, delegates to the state convention are chosen. They are not bound to any candidate. The state convention is April 18-20, during which delegates choose 25 of the 33 delegates to the national convention. Sixteen of the 25 delegates are allocated proportionally to presidential candidates based on the support for the candidates in each of the state’s three Congressional districts. Nine delegates are allocated to candidates based on the support among all of the delegates attending the convention. The remaining eight unpledged delegates are chosen from party leaders.

[ursi]

15. so those delegates from the state level go to the national convention

and then a vote is done again?

What was the point of saying someone won Nevada today?

Sorry for the thick skull.

Thanks for your help.
