5. That's why all this Edwards is out shit is really getting on my

nerves. The people here are about as reliable as the pundits, and they're talking out of their asses.

7. Hot damn we've got ourselves a horse race

We've got Seabiscut, Man-o-War and Secretariat all vying for the Triple crown. (these are 3 top horses in the history of horse racing and none of them represent a specific candidate in the democratic primary)

Cannot get upset over that - all 3 are a winner!

8. I'm confused

where did those 18 delegates come from and how are they counted? If you win a state, don't you get all the delegates?

[izzybeans]

11. Nope. I'm not exactly sure of the math but last night worked out to be a

tie between Obama and Clinton because the % of votes they received garnered the same # of delegates. 9 I believe.

It might be broken down on the precinct level as well. Perhaps the winner in one area receives the delegates from those areas. This is a good question. I'm going to go figure this one out.

19. 14 from Iowa, 4 from New Hampshire

The vast majority of states use proportional voting for Democratic primaries and caucuses. Some Republican primaries also do. If a Democrat gets 15% or more of the vote in a state, except in the rare winner-take-all states, the candidate will get some delegates. Edwards got 46% of the vote Obama did and 44.4% of the delegates Obama won.

16. What about Michigan....will

their votes/delegates count?

[ieoeja]

18. No. They violated the rules.

However, you still have your congress-critters as well as the state and local elections to consider. So don't forget to vote!

20. K&R. John knows what he's doing. Still, delegates/super delegates and the electoral

college.. all fancy ways of saying its not our votes that count. I hate this system.
