Obama wins more delegates?

Apparently the Obama campaign is saying it actually won more delegates in Nevada. There is some dispute.

More as I understand it.

UPDATE: via the WashingtonPost.com

With 98 percent of the vote counted, Clinton led with 51 percent to 45 percent for Obama (Ill.). Former senator John Edwards trailed far behind with four percent. However, although Clinton captured the popular vote, Obama edged her out for delegates at stake, taking 13 to her 12, according to an Associated Presss analysis.


I told you caucuses were weird.

Dear Obama partisans,
If Edwards were to drop out of the race, there's no reason to assume that all his supporters would become Obama supporters. Not everyone that supports a non-Hillary candidate is "anti-Hillary". And insulting them for remaining Edwards supporters won't win any converts.
Hugs and kisses,
