2. Context of "uncomitted" is very important in this case. There was a loophole that allowed the delegates to be seated if over 30% of the people voted uncommitted despite the delegates being stripped. Both Obama and Edwards told people to vote for uncommitted since they had removed themselves from the ballot.
3. She won by 15 points which I don't know how you can call "almost beaten".
But you have to remember that Michigan and Florida broke the rules about that from DNC, and they have to pay the price for it even know that Clinton is now trying to get those votes, and In my opinion, it would be probably too late for that, if Texas or Ohio votes for Obama, her run for the president will be over, even Big Daddy Bill say that today in Texas.
