Apparently more weirdness to come from NV caucus rules
Apparently the announced percentages in HRC's win are the "caucus votes" which is why there are only about 10,000 when there were over 107,000 participants. This is one reason why John Edwards "percentage" is so low and kind of shrunk as the process rolled along.

Apparently there will be another figure coming out with total individual votes that is likely to tighten up the overall margin between HRC and BHO and likely show Edwards in a better light. Anyway that's what I read here:

http://www.dailykos.com/

Update III: The percentages reported for this race, by the way, aren't popular vote figures. Truly bizarre. They're based on the number of state delegates awarded. So while no one thinks Obama will win the popular vote, the percentages should be a lot tighter when the actual popular vote numbers are released.

Please notice I used the term "HRC's win" unequivically so I'd rather not be slammed with a bunch of random "nyah nyah nyah" type replies... if that's ok.

1. I wish that elections were decided by popular vote
Gore would have been in the White House in 2000 if they were.

2. Yeah that is why when people were saying Clinton won the popular vote I didn't think that was correc
We still don't know who won the popular vote.
