Posted on: Obama's official statement

What a poor attempt to spin a loss.

Due to our state's faulty math, when there are two delegates, and the Clinton votes outnumbered Obama 2:1, the delegates were split.

This was a clear loss to Obama. Further, Clinton won with over 50% of the vote, something Obama has not done.

Our precinct (2311) was so chaotic that Chelsea Clinton herself came in and helped to organize the entire affair.

The precinct had 124 voters in all. I was impressed when we finally split into our candidate support groups, and Chelsea helped the four Edwards supporters find each other. When they failed to meet the threshold of viability, they broke for Clinton 3 to 1 over Obama.

But the sheer lack of directions, word-of-mouth misinformation, and questionable actions by all campaign representatives reinforced what we all know... we need to move to a primary process. The caucus requires too much preparation and instruction for our underfunded state organizations to pull off successfully.
