Re: Obama's delegate haul today (2.00 / 3)

How did they steal delegates?

To add on delegates from a precinct or county convention to a state convention, you can't steal delegates.

You have to hope that your opponent's delegates don't show up.

Which, apparently, is what happened in Nevada.

HRC delegates didn't all show up, and alternates were seated in their place.

You might not like the outcome, but I fail to see how it's "stealing" delegates.

It was snark (none / 0)

and meant to point out the hypocrisy of some Obama supporters.  The same thing happened in Colorado at the county level a while back and every. single. Obama supporter that chose to way in, accused HRC of stealing.  



Hypocrisy is human though.

Re: Obama's delegate haul today (none / 0)

And it's also got nothing to do with the Obama campaign "stealing" anything.  The Clinton campaign wasn't able to manage their OWN delegates and get them to the convention.  Once again, Senator Clinton has been kneecapped by her own campaign's incompetence.  You just can't hire good help these days.
