"I'll try to simplify - the 25 national convention delegates will be apportioned later. What networks and wire services are doing is extrapolating to national convention if all remains the same. Obama did very well outside Clark County and delegates are apportioned by congressional district - hence the delegate advantage. But this is all about perception now and Clinton will use the win going into SC and Super Tuesday. She also will try to energize Hispanics against Obama by using that Unite HERE Spanish-language ad that ran at the end. Clinton won Nevada, and Obama's claim of an advantage of one among delegates that amount to a tiny fraction of delegates will only matter at a brokered convention."
