46% In and Hillary is leading by about 150.

Legitimate Question: Why in hell is she doing so bad?

Former First Lady.

Former Senator.

Former Secretary of State.

Another virtual tie.

ON EDIT: Since people were confused by the Guardian's (and the WaPo's) terminology: "Vote totals for the Nevada Democratic Party are county convention delegates won by each candidate."

If he's not, it doesn't.

She always win with coin toss or card drawn. Something fishy. Very strange phenomenon.

Caucuses. I have a hard time discussing it, too. I've always lived in a primary state.
