So... How Many More Delegates Did Clinton Win vs. Obama Last Night?

[MannyGoldstein]

Was it winner-take-all?

1. Tied, the won the same amount

I don't remember, 9, 12, 18, something like that. Obama is still ahead in delegates.

6. So, Functionally, This Was A Tie - Not A Loss

So what's the big deal all about?

Feh.

7. Ask the media

Build them up to knock them down.

2. I have heard that they split the delegates in N Hampshire.

But maybe I heard wrong.

3. They won an equal amount

It was a literal tie in that regard. I cannot remember the number. In the overall electoral college vote, Barack is leading by 1. No mention of the super-delegates in the report I saw.

4. They actually got the same number of delegates, 9 for each of them

5. Trick question!

It was a tie.

We've got a serious competition going on, and I think ultimately it's going to show that all of our Democratic candidates would make terrific presidents!

:applause:

8. I Wish I Could Share The Optimism Of My Fellow Pastafarian

But I think that voting for the IWR showed monumentally poor judgment - particularly since most Congressional Democrats got it right and voted against the infernal thing. We can't afford judgment that bad in the Oval Office.

12. I thought only Senators Kennedy and Byrd voted against it

13. 22 Democratic Senators Voted Against It

As did 126 Democratic representatives:

Most Dems in Congress got it right. It boggles my mind that we'd elevate to the presidency one of the few who got it wrong.

9. Who is ahead 1 delegate now, Clinton or Obama.

I thought I saw a chart after Iowa that gave Clinton 16, Obama 15 and Edwards 14.

11. MSNBC said Obama is ahead of Clinton by 1

[stray cat]

10. actually none - they are even in terms of delegates in NH

so at this very early stage Obama is ahead.
