LAS VEGAS — Sen. Hillary Clinton won more delegates in today's caucuses. (Results, with about 98 percent counted as of this writing, can be found here.) Sen. Barack Obama won in 11 of the Silver State's 17 counties, and said his wins in rural and more conservative areas make him a better general election candidate than Clinton, who won population-dense Clark County where Vegas is located.

But based on the way Nevada calculates its delegates, the Obama campaign claimed a 13-12 win of national convention delegates, one more than Clinton.

Not so, Team Clinton warned earlier tonight:

Clinton Campaign Statement on Nevada Victory

Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Caucuses today by winning a majority of the delegates at stake.

The Obama campaign is wrong. Delegates for the national convention will not be determined until April 19.

The campaign also made sure reporters had the state party's statement cautioning that the national convention delegates won't be awarded officially until the April local and state conventions:

Statement by Nevada Democratic Party Chair Jill Derby
Regarding the Nevada Caucus
(Las Vegas, NV) "Today, two out of three Nevadans who caucused chose a Democrat instead of a Republican for president. That is an overwhelming majority vote for a new direction. Just like in Iowa what was awarded today were delegates to the County Convention. No national convention delegates were awarded. The calculations of national convention delegates being circulated are based upon an assumption that delegate preferences will remain the same between now and April 2008. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support."

Here are some more videos from today's caucus at the Rio.

In this one, the caucus organizer gives a warning that observers are breaking the rules.

This one captures the alignment process.

(Compare that to my video account from inside an Iowa caucus earlier this month.)

UPDATE, 7:40 p.m. pacific: Clinton makes no mention of Nevada on her home page, Obama spins the results graphically on his Web site.
