I don’t think it can be properly said that Obama “won” Iowa or that Clinton “won” NH. I heard Thomm Hartmann on Air America Thursday (Jan 10) morning explain that the contests we’re seeing are about assigning delegates to various candidates. In Iowa, Obama got the most votes so he got the most delegates but Edwards got some for placing and Clinton got some for showing. In NH, Clinton got the most votes so she got the most delegates, etc.
He said the standings (at that time) showed Obama with 25 delegates, Clinton with 24, and Edwards with 18. (I didn’t give a rat’s tail about the Repugs…)
…at least it’s a good race…
Hey! How could you not give a rat’s whatever about us Repubs?!? We are sweet and loveable!
