Am I dreaming or did Obama get 1 more delegate than Hillary in Iowa?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after all this hype, is Obama leading Hillary by 1 delegate?
How much will this lead increase after today's win by Barack? 2?

2. As I've said in other threads, all of the commotion is over a one-delegate lead...

in a 2,000 delegate race.

Obama has momentum, of course, and that's obviously important. Not everyone thinks it's over, though.

4. the Iowa delegates are not bound to vote for their

assigned candidate.

Iowa's caucus isn't binding on the delegates. NH's is.

If I'm not mistaken.

6. and she got one more than Edwards

as far as I am concerned she came in second.
And yes Obama is only going to get a few more delegates than she does today.
In the meantime it is all hate Hillary 24/7 on msnbc. Every time I turn it on to see what is happening there's the He-Man Hillary haters spewing garbage.

7. She's ahead, despite the 1 delegate,

because she has many more super-delegates already committed to her.
