Clinton AND Obama win Nevada

[doppelganger]

What a weird system. Clinton appears to have won the percentage game, but Obama won more of the delegates. And they're both proclaiming victory.

All in all, it's a win for Obama, who was way behind Clinton in Nevada up until a couple of weeks ago. But will Obama have enough momentum to turn around all those big states on Super Tuesday where she has a commanding lead?

Huh? How did that happen?

delegates don't have to side with the public. we're a republic.

Possibly but HOW?

It is rather confusing considering that the amount of delegates for each candidate from each voting precinct are determined by the number of voters that turned out for each candidate. So one would think, that if Clinton won the majority percentage of voters then that would mean that more people turned out and voted for her...thus, more delegates would be attributed to her. Unless somebody counted wrong as to the amount of delegates Obama should have gotten. Which is possible. The voting is more sound a procedure than the figuring up of how many delegates a candidate gets. It's a percentage of a percentage thing.
