So who were the winners and losers at the state Democraticconvention? The Barack Obama campaign garnered national attention for stealing an extra delegate and probably two because an add-on will be an Obama vote, too. So that makes the Obamaites winners and the Clintonites losers. But it wasn’t that surprising, considering the prevailing political winds. The Culinary Union had a mixed bag helping the Obama folks pilfer the delegate but losing when one of its former workers, state Sen. Maggie Carlton, was crushed in her bid for national committeewoman. No comparison in importance, but guess which one the party crazies care about more? And that’s why these events never cease to amaze after all this time.
