3. It's a matter of a single delegate, right?
Just checking the numbers.

7. Actually the AP says Obama did
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22739349/

"I guess this is how the West was won," Clinton told cheering supporters in Las Vegas. She captured the popular vote, but Obama edged her out for national convention delegates at stake, taking 13 to her 12.

18.  It looks like there were about 12 and 13 delegates respectively awarded to Clinton and Obama
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 08:15 PM by bigtree
*98% reporting (CNN), Not counting the 'superdelegates' . . .

Obama will have about 38 delegates; Sen. Hillary Clinton has 36; and, John Edwards still has 18 (O pick up from Nevada).
