New Hampshire
Not unlike the general election, where a candidate can win the general election and still lose on electoral college votes, it’s really odd to crow Clinton’s victory tonight. Clinton and Obama actually split the open delegates evenly, 9-9. Obama had three superdelegates lined up to Clinton’s two. So the final delegate tally for New Hampshire is:
Obama- 12
Clinton- 11
Edwards- 4
So, who actually won New Hampshire?
A really interesting question is how long does John Edwards hold out, and is it possible that the primaries are all going to be close enough, even through Super Duper Tuesday, February 5th, that he gains leverage as kingmaker?
