Hillary started out at 56 votes, with Edwards at 45, Obama at 39, Richardson at 17, and Biden at 3. Then Richardson and Biden folks recommitted and it ended out Clinton at 58, Obama at 56, and Edwards at 49. So a close win by Hillary here, but if this second preference is a pattern statewide, it bodes well for Obama. When Richardson didn’t reach viability, his supporters jumped up and went over to Obama almost en masse, as if they were taking marching orders.
