Other 3

Larry Leisig!  Larry Leisig!

[RedKing]

Sorry, apparently the "Other" was actually "Uncommitted". I'm not sure how you do that in a caucus, but it's been done here (all in Clark Co.)



Now:
Sanders 481
Clinton 472
Uncommitted 3

[mainiac]

It takes a lot of commitment to show up and stay uncommitted.

[RedKing]

Something to be noted, even though Clark County is like 2/3 or more of the population, Sanders could come out with the most delegates. Clinton won Clark County by 10 points in 2008, but Obama won in overall delegates.
Cause 'Murrica (i.e. something about the uninhabited areas getting more clout in the process than the population should give them -- much like Nevada in relation to the rest of the country).


EDIT:
Ok, the Guardian has the BEST electoral result coverage. I am now using them for the rest of the race.

13.5 in and suddenly sanders edges over. This is probably going to be a close one throughout.

I wonder how much republican meddling there will actually be.

[mainiac]

I wouldn't be on much if any of it being real.

[RedKing]

I actually saw someone on the 538 sidebar claim that Republicans were going to claim to be Latinos too, to throw off the exit polling. *facepalm*

[smjjames]

About 24% in and Clinton is slowly widening that lead. This is mostly rural locations though.

I just got back from the (Nevada) caucus. My precinct split delegates 8-6 for Bernie. Not too surprising, given my proximity to the University. I gotta say, for all the talk about minorities in this election, just about everyone in the room was white, despite the fact that I live in an ethnically diverse neighborhood.

I have to say....Hillary's little tamagotchi stand-in is actually more likeable than the candidate herself.

Maybe it being a caucus meant a whiter demographic?

No doubt. Not everyone can give up 3 hours in the middle of the day, even if it is Saturday. I sat next to some guys 3 times my age and it was their first time voting in the caucus (never voted in the primary), since they'd been working their whole lives.

[RedKing]

So many ways to spin that....

"BREAKING: Black voters boycott caucuses, not turning out for Clinton"
"BREAKING: Clinton campaign accuses Nevada Dems of disenfranchising minority voters"
"BREAKING: Even on a Saturday, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT"

[Karlito]

"BREAKING: Even on a Saturday, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT"

This was my and many other's reaction when they started asking people to be county delegates.

[smjjames]

Maybe there will be a push to change it back to a primary?

Also, on those older guys who never voted before, are they retired I guess?
