Democrats split again. Another big win for Romney.
Okay Senator Obama..

SC...You make sure everyone knows what the Clintons are really about.....
Ok folks, when the history books are finally written about these elections, which side will you say you were on? WWW.IVOTEDHISTORY.COM
You blacked out Ron Paul's Michigan results, I wonder what pains you are going to go through to ignore his 2nd place showing in NV, I have an idea!! why don't you play the percentage point and say Paul was tied with McCain, and then go on to cover how McCain neglected Nevada and so on. You can also just mention Mitt Romney and ignore everything else.

If you don't start telling the truth, I personally am going to notify your advertisers that I will not buy their products.
Well, for Sen. Obama to lose a lot. He still is keeping up with the delegates.

Go Obama!
Okay now we are all Tied-Up

Next SC -----

Senator Obama get ready....You see what the Clintons are about.....
Marc Ambinder actually reports 13 for Obama and 12 for Clinton per some weird caucus rules that grants him more delegates even if she won more votes. Anybody can confirm that ?

Yeah, like a lifetime of public service, accomplishment and results for Americans of ALL races.

Gosh, I hope they don't smear him with his middle name or by quoting something from, "Dreams from my Father".
Those dastardly Clintons...

Hillary is winning the super delegates!!!
Slate.com reports that Obama won more delegates than Hillary.

"Obama's loss was tempered by the fact that he actually won more delegates than Clinton by the complicated rules of apportionment that gave him credit for doing well across the state rather than in concentrated areas."
The GOP caucus was non-binding and as such delegate estimates based on these mean nothing.

And Obama got 13 to Clinton's 12:
District 1 Clinton 3, Obama 3

District 2 (Washoe) Clinton 1, Obama 2

District 2 (Rural) Clinton 0, Obama 1

District 2 (Clark) Clinton 1, Obama 1

District 3 (Clark) Clinton 2, Obama 2

At-Large Clinton 2, Obama 1

PLEO Clinton 3, Obama 3

Axelrod (Obama) was just on MSNBC saying they won 13 delegates to Clinton's 12. Why the disconnect between the two sets of numbers?
Obama, can do this! We must encourage others to stay postive and move forward.
Mark you keep reporting nonsense. CHECK YOUR FACTS.

OBAMA won 13 delegates
CLINTON won 12

Deal with it
Come on America, I can not beleive people are voting for politics as usual and the dirty politics the Clintons are playing. I supported Clinton for awhile, but they have shown me what they are about, but now I just can't support her. And I am ashamed I ever supported Bill!! It's by no means over, actually it's tied up but come on America!!! Yes I have gone from a Hillary supporter to an anyone but Hillary person!!!
The Clintons will do ANYTHING to win.  I'm ashamed of them and I'm a lifetime Democrat.  Voters say they want change but then they vote for someone who will take us backwards and who owes favors to politicos all over the country.  This makes no sense.  Please someone tell me this is not a matter of racism.  Please.
It appears it is time for Giuliani to quit the race. He is obviously unelectable.
Ari Melber at The Nation says Obama may have 13 delegates, to Clinton's 12:

YEAH!!!!  GO Hillary GO!  Her latest interview with Brian Williams is incredible!!!  She is GREAT!

YEAH!!!!
David Axelrod said on MSNBC that Obama received 13 delegates while Hillary got 12.  How does that square with what you are reporting here?
If the Clintons win this nomination it will not take much for the GOP to win this vote, no 3rd term president ever, Bill is campaigning so hard for his 3rd term.
The GOP needs to continue the hard fight and seek the correct winner, one that will reach out to us unhappy democracts.

NO 3rd TERM FOR THE CLINTONS, NEVER.
Which is it?  Obama with 13 or Hillary?  CNN is reporting that Obama won.
Hillary won 7 of 9 not 2...
I'm hearing reports that the delegate breakdown will give 13 to Obama, and 12 to Clinton.

As Clinton's communications director has said, "this is a race for delegates, not a battle for individual states."
Obama's camp better be careful with their racist attacks because although those may win them South Carolina (and that's debatable), the rest of the country wont be tolerate such pettiness.
Obama is showing surprising strength in his second place finishes in NH, Michigan, and NV.  He still polls strongly no matter what stupid insulting thing he says about Reagan.  
Tell the GOP to bring us blacks a decent candidate for the general, just a hint of appeal and they got this vote. NO 3rd presidency.
I want to see the 2 little black princesses in the white house. No 3rd term presidency for bill.
And now the AA racists show their fangs. That won't help his chances...
So Mike, it is about race, Huh, I thought your side says it wasn't.
I am voting for the politician that can get down and dirty, kick the republicans out of the capital and really change the last seven years. you can vote for the elephant if your guy gets beat, no difference in the final vote, Hillary will win.
On the MSNBC TV they say Obama has won the delegate count in Nevada...so why does this site have Clinton winning?
Ok here we go the media is screwing up again  what the hell is wrong with you people  it is claer to see that the media wants Obama to win and  gives Hillary Clinton  no credit  at all for anything, dose it kill you that she IS the better person for the job the problem is  everyone is afraid of change and you all  know she can and will make a difference, look the past is the past the country cannot be worse of than it is now Bush has the country so screwed up  NO ONE especially a senator with less than3 years experience  can fix it. Let the people decide  dont let the media decide for you.
gentlemen,
Because of clinton inevitability to win the demorcratic nomination, I have changed my party registration from dem to independent. The Gop needs a moderate candidate and this former dem will give them this vote. I will not vote for a 3rd term president, PRINCIPLE.
Bill is running for president again.
Congratulations Senator Obama for winning 13 delegates overHillary's 12.
