Hillary Campaign: No, We Won The Nevada Caucuses
The Hillary campaign has a new statement out responding to the Obama camp's claim that they won more delegates in Nevada:
Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Caucuses today by winning a majority of the delegates at stake.The Obama campaign is wrong. Delegates for the national convention will not be determined until April 19.
Meanwhile, the Nevada Dem party releases this statement:
“Today, two out of three Nevadans who caucused chose a Democrat instead of a Republican for president. That is an overwhelming majority vote for a new direction. Just like in Iowa, what was awarded today were delegates to the county convention. No national convention delegates were awarded. The calculations of national convention delegates being circulated are based upon an assumption that delegate preferences will remain the same between now and April 2008. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support.”
Late Update: The Nevada Dem party releases this clarification:
"No national convention delegates were awarded. That said, if the delegate preferences remain unchanged between now and April 2008, the calculations of national convention delegates being circulated by the Associated Press are correct. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support."
