StrangeSox Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) but losing almost all states. Mass, NY are big losses. Clinton will win California. He "lost" Nevada but ended up with more delegates in that state. Let's wait until the delegates are all counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Is Obama expected to narrow the results in Mass, NJ, and NY because urban areas are slower to report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) How does that work? I am really trying to get into the election this year, but still learning everything. I want to vote educated. Same way Bush "lost" the 2000 election but won with electoral votes. Nevada doesn't just portion them out based on total state-wide votes. Obama won in districts with more delegates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 06:20 PM) How does that work? I am really trying to get into the election this year, but still learning everything. I want to vote educated. It's kind of like the electoral college, except at the district level instead of the state level. In Nevada, each district gets 3 delegates. If 1 candidate wins but by a tiny margin, it would go 2-1. But if they won by a moderate margin, it would still go 2-1. You need a big win to get 3-0. So it's possible that Obama could eek out a win in a lot of districts but lose fairly big in a couple of heavy populated districts, and come out with more delegates and fewer votes. That's a distinct possibility in CA, which has a lot of rural areas, for example, and a few highly populated cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 She had been expected to struggle in Massachusetts, a heartland for the Democratic party, after influential senator Ted Kennedy had endorsed senator Obama as the heir to the legacy of his brother, John F. Kennedy. "This is a strong victory and shows that Hillary Clinton has strength in places where Barack Obama was expected to win," the Clinton campaign has said, calling the result "one of the biggest surprises of the night".

Balta1701 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Even with the endorsements, she still had a 10+ point lead in polling coming in to the night. The most recent poll had her with a 17 point lead, down from the 35-40 point range a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
