2. Hillary still hasn't "won" a primary that counts.
2 losses and a tie

11. By my count it is one loss, two ties.
With Obama coming in with one win and two ties.

4. You're as pathetic
as the Obamatons.

You are all so easily whipped into frothing frenzy by the MSM or the spinmeisters.

I'm glad you're not an Edwards supporter. We like to use our brains!

5. Well maybe if Obama had 10 and Hillary had 9 then it would have
played differently.

7. Be happy, Herman. HRC won the popular vote
in Clark County (70% of state population). That's a big media win and well done.

Is there some reason I should not take consolation in the fact that my candidate won a popular majority in the rest of the state and (apparently) in the delegate count? I'm human too and would like some scraps from the table.

10. But she did not win a popular majority in the rest of the state
The last time I looked at the literal vote, RON PAUL HAD ABOUT 1,000 VOTES MORE THAN HILLARY. Sure, she pulled in about 500 more than Obama, but with the delegate dispute ongoing, I don't think Hillary Clinton should be crowing about her big victory. I think if she is serious, she should look at the scope of the overall turnout, and make such huge adjustments if she wants to prevail in the bigger primary states. And additionally, she should be looking over her shoulder to see exactly how those same numbers are looking to her fellow New Yorker, Bloomberg, who will be deciding soon whether or not to thrown his hat in the ring because of the "polarizing" candidates looming on the right and the left.

I am not trying to rain on your parade, I am trying to get you to think about the bigger picture and to analyze the actual scope of this so-called huge win tonight. Regards.

8. WIthout knowing any better, I figured they were so close coming
out of New Hampshire that they'd have the sme number of delegates. Winner-take-all is history.

9. If the goal is to win the most delegates, Obama won Nevada.
