Please Explain to Me…

January 9, 2008 by Craig

… how last night’s New Hampshire Democratic Primary can repeatedly be called a win for Hillary Clinton. As I understand it (and I’ve paid little attention to the lower-level workings of the wacky U.S. election system) both Clinton and Obama got the same number of delegates and thus effectively tied, even though Clinton got a scant 2% more of the popular vote. Given that she was the heavy favorite everywhere up until Iowa, anything less than an actual win in delegates seems like poor performance to me. Is this anything other than media bias in favor of Hillary shining through?
