1. Who won more delegates?

You can keep whining, I'll keep dealing with facts.

5. What facts?

The head of the Democratic Party in NV stated that those delegates aren't binding until the spring.

21. They are just as binding as any other delegate won in a primary

Nice spin, but it doesn't hold water. Electors for the state convention were elected in proportion. Obama will have more electors loyal to him going to the Nevada state convention. You can count those as money in the bank.

You should see my mental picture of you. Its not very pretty.

With that said, its 2-1, about to be 2-2. You have keep pretending that Michigan has bearing on something, but you will continue to sound stupid and be wrong.

10. In "HIllary's World"

I'm sure she would be happy to continue "losing" 51% to 45% through the Super Tuesday primaries.

12. I doubt it,

because, following NV's model, that would mean she would hold fewer delegates than Obama.

13. Kids act better than the one upmanship of some of these threads

Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 08:28 PM by still_one

and this post is directly at all threads from all candidates playing this pissing game

Objectively looking at it though, it seems that it mostly involves Obama and Clinton supporters

I guess it is easier than talking about the issues that will affect us

Of course, maybe I am being too serious, and should take this as comice relief, however, I think it has the potential to hurt us
