won the Nevada Caucuses, hitting over 50 percent. Obama had 45 percent.
Edwards had practically nothing, with 4-5 percent thus far. Certainly if Nevada had a primary, his numbers would have been far higher; as it is, his paltry showing is a result of the quirky caucus system.
The way the system works, if you don't have "viability" in a caucus precinct, your vote doesn't count.
That's the way it was at my caucus today. At my precinct, there were 130 people there. Twenty people were needed for viability. The Edwards group needed just one more person to be viable. As it was, we had to have a second choice, which was either Obama or Clinton. Since I refuse to support Obama under any circumstances, I went to the Clinton side.
Obama wound up with six delegates, while Clinton had five in our precinct.
I will be a delegate, as will a couple of other Edwards supporters, for the county convention next month.
