The delegate count after SC
Clinton: 230

Obama: 152

Edwards: 61


Special Notes

• There are currently 4,049 total delegates to the Democratic National Convention, including 3,253 pledged delegates and 796 superdelegates. The total number of delegate votes needed to win the nomination is 2,025.

• Superdelegates in the Democratic Party are typically members of the Democratic National Committee, elected officials like senators or governors, or party leaders. They do not have to indicate a candidate preference and do not have to compete for their position. If a superdelegate dies or is unable to participate at the convention, alternates do not replace that delegate, which would reduce the total delegates number and the "magic number" needed to clinch the nomination.

2. And Clinton feels the need to cheat and get more from states that cheated?
Go figure.

3. Has Clinton won ANY state in the pledged delegate count?
Iowa: Obama by 1
New Hampshire: Tied
Nevada: Obama by 1
South Carolina: Obama by 13 (O 25, C 12)

I know Clinton expects to win some states on 2/5, but isn't this a bit of an under-reported story? She hasn't actually won ANY states yer?
