Wait a Minute...

So Clinton won the Nevada Caucus but Obama got more delegates, how exactly does that work? I understand how it works, the delegates are broken up into districts and if you win a district you win that delegate. So you could win in landslides in one and win the popular vote but lose the more districts. Similar to the electoral vote in the general election for president.

My question is how does the media report it as a win for Clinton? That isn't a win for Clinton, Obama got more delegates which is what he needs for the Presidential Nomination, not total votes. Stupid news sources.
