Delegates? What Delegates?

Does anybody have any idea which delegates won in Tuesday's elections? We were given choices (stratified by gender--at least with the Dems) as to delegates we could vote for, and most of were confused about the whole thing. But--what happened? Which delegates won? Does it matter? Help me out please, I must have slept through that class on the Electoral College.

Thanks to alert readers Bob McWilliams and Dennis Conti, who represent different parties, but each sent CP the link to learn about the Delegate counts.

I was looking at the election results, and in District 3. OBama easily beat Clinton, but the top vote getting delegates (I just looked at the females - the Party that's always yelling about equality divides the by gender for some reason) were all pledged to Clinton. So, Obama wins, but his delegates are all Clinton supporters. How does that work?

If I'm reading the thing right, Moyer also lost, since she didn't make the top 4. Pretty bad that the Mayor of Annapolis can't get herself elected as a delegate. I guess that shows her popularity. Now, she can stay here and work on crime.
