Was Obama the real winner?

It may be that while Hillary Clinton had the most support at the Nevada caucuses, Barack Obama may have ended up with the most delegates:

John Nichols reports:

A source with knowledge of the Nevada Democratic Party's projections told The Nation that under the arcane weighting system, Obama would win 13 national convention delegates and Clinton would win 12 delegates. The state party has not released an official count yet.

Clinton wins Nevada

It looks like Hillary Clinton has won Nevada.

I don't have much to add to this; like Ben said, we're trying to avoid the horserace analysis around here so that we can focus on the ideas behind the campaign. But apparently John Edwards only pulled 4 percent of caucus-goers; I have no reason to pull out, but I'm curious where his supporters will go if he does.

Tonight's Democratic debate will be live-blogged

Hi folks:

Check back here tonight -- Ben and I will be live-blogging the Democratic debate in Nevada while keeping an eye on the Republican returns from Michigan.

Probably, we'll do it as an open-thread thing: I'll start the thread on my blog, then Ben and I -- and everybody else who is hanging out -- can interact in the "thoughts" section.
