"the receiving end of one of the most scurrilous smear efforts in recent memory"

Recent memory stretches back to Clinton's advertising calling Obama a "rookie", his campaign "a fairy tale", falsely claiming him "soft on abortion rights", referring to him doing drugs in the 'hood (like Bill did).

Yuck.

Here are the real results; the delegate count: from CNN @ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229219

Hillary Clinton ... 51% ... 13 delegates
Barack Obama ... 45% ... 12 delegates
John Edwards ... 4% ... 0 delegates

A win for Clinton by 1 delegate. Now she and Obama are tied in total delegate count, not counting the uncommitted superdelegates who will just vote for the eventual nominee.

See you in South Carolina with 45 delegates at stake.

Ciao

Sorry, my post should have read, "once the Clinton/Obama fanatics turn off their caps lock keys".

Percentages don't matter. County delegates don't matter. The only race that matters is the race for national delegates.

Examine Iowa: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229206 -- Clinton came in 3rd in percentages but 2nd in delegates.

Examine New Hampshire: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229220 -- Clinton's "win" was actually a "tie".

What will we see when we examine Nevada's results: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21229219 -- once the Clinton fanatics turn off their caps lock keys and wake up with their "win" hangover tomorrow?

What happens in Vegas did not necessarily happen at all.

Peace.

Is this Nevada "win" like Clinton's "win" in New Hampshire where both ended up with the same number of delegates? Impossible to tell with the reporting and the ALL CAPS SHOUTING of Hillary's fanatics.

Shouting "winner" is not the same as "winning".

Yaaaaaaahhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Please report delegate totals. It's the only measure that counts. Remember how Hillary "trounced" Barack in New Hampshire? Turns out the both won the same number of delegates. Anywhere except in the horserace-focused media that is what is known as a "tie."

Not a bad cartoon, but equally true for Hillary who has only watched her husband drive while she sat in the back seat. No wait, that was Bill in the back seat with Monica while Hillary pretended to not notice.
