International Herald Tribune reports that Obama has won the Democrats Abroad primary. The interesting part of the article is buried way, way down:
So, what happens with a half a delegate? Does this unfortunate person need to arrive half dressed? Allowed to listen to only half the speeches? Get to eat half a pizza? Miss (fortunately) half the media coverage?
Seriously, um....what?
The party will send 14 pledged delegates to the convention, each with a half vote. The primary was used to determine nine people, or the equivalent of 4.5 delegates. Obama won 2.5 and Clinton won two, according to Schon Marques.
