Obama's Win in NV of Delegates WIll Be the Topic of Conversation Tomorrow and All Week!

[Dems Will Win]

It's like Dewey Defeats Truman!

Russert will get out his marker and pad and tell everybody how RURAL WHITES put Obama over the top in delegates and that he will LEAD Clinton nationally in pledged elected delegates

38 to 36 GOING INTO SOUTH CAROLINA!

This will cause punditmania for Obama and it will be repeated over and over and over:

RURAL WHITES CARRIED OBAMA TO VICTORY IN NEVADA!

OBAMA WINS MOST NEVADA DELEGATES...Barack Obama may have won the most delegates in Saturday's Nevada Caucus, even though Hillary Clinton bested his statewide turnout by about six points.

A source with knowledge of the Nevada Democratic Party's projections told The Nation that under the arcane weighting system, Obama would win 13 national convention delegates and Clinton would win 12 delegates. The state party has not released an official count yet.

Barack Obama released an official statement celebrating a delegate victory. "We came from over twenty-five points behind to win more national convention delegates than Hillary Clinton because we performed well all across the state, including rural areas where Democrats have traditionally struggled," he said.

A current estimate of the national convention delegate count is below, though not all precincts have fully reported.

District 1 Clinton 3, Obama 3

District 2 (Washoe) Clinton 1, Obama 2

District 2 (Rural) Clinton 0, Obama 1

District 2 (Clark) Clinton 1, Obama 1

District 3 (Clark) Clinton 2, Obama 2

At-Large Clinton 2, Obama 1

PLEO Clinton 3, Obama 3

UPDATE: The Obama Campaign is now pushing hard to promote this delegate victory. The campaign is convening a post-caucus conference call for reporters -- something that only winning campaigns usually do -- and circulating numerous Clinton quotes about how delegates are the only thing that matter. From the new press release:


Senator Obama was awarded 13 delegates to Senator Clinton's 12. As Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson said, "This is a race for delegates…It is not a battle for individual states. As David knows, we are well past the time when any state will have a disproportionate influence on the nominating process."

3. And so it begins...

"Clinton captured the popular vote Saturday, but Obama edged her out for national convention delegates at stake, taking 13 to her 12..."
