Posted by: Dale Franks on Sunday, February 10, 2008 Barack Obama has broken Hillary Clinton's lead in the delegate count for the nomination. Or, at least, in one of the delegate counts. Observe: Barack Obama Pledged: 908 Superdelegates: 131 Total: 1,039 Hillary Clinton Pledged: 877 Superdelegates: 223 Total: 1,100 Notice that Hillary Clinton now leads only because of Superdelegates. In terms of actual delegates selected in primaries or caucuses, Obama leads—barely—by 32 delegates. As we've mentioned, those superdelegates are a potential problem. Because, despite the fact that they are being counted as part of the general delegate count, they aren't really. They don't have to vote for anyone they don't want to. They simply aren't pledged. It'll be very interesting to see what they do. |
