McCain declared winner in South Carolina -- Obama beats Hillary (in delegates) in Nevada

After holding a narrow lead, McCain handed win over Huckabee by AP and the cable news networks. Apparently the pro-Confederate flag vote is somewhat limited. Ron Paul again doubles the hapless Rudy's vote: 4% to 2%. Meanwhile, Obama people suggesting that even while losing in Nevada he may pick up one more delegate there than Hillary -- but this is unclear. Would be big moral and morale win if true.

AP does report now: "She captured the popular vote, but Obama edged her out for national convention delegates at stake, taking 13 to her 12." The Clinton camp disputed this, but the Nevada Democratic party has issued this statement: "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."
