| Description | Barack Obama today picked up one additional Nevada delegate, stealing it from rival Hillary Rodham Clinton by drawing more supporters at the party's state convention in Reno.
A vote of more than 2,500 convention delegates broke 55-45% in Obama's favor, giving Obama 14 of Nevada's 25 pledged delegates to the National Democratic Convention in Denver this summer to Clinton's 11.
The shift is a gain of 1 pledged delegate for Obama over the split calculated after the state's January caucuses.
Although Clinton won the support of 51% of the caucus-goers in January, under the complicated system of awarding delegates Obama was put on track to winning 13 delegates to Clinton's 12.
The party also is scheduled to select later today an additional unpledged, or "add-on," delegate. |
