Saturday news
According to exit polling, Obama has won Louisiana as well as the Washington and Nebraska caucuses. Those polls, of course, were wrong in New Hampshire; but that is what the CNN exit poll said. (Eventually I will explain how I do this. . .)
Of course, "who won" is not relevant if you're not running it as a winner- take - all horse race. Take New Mexico. Half our delegates are pledged to Clinton and half to Obama, so who cares who won by the tiniest of margins? The state split, therefore the delegates are split.
