MSNBC: Delegate update: NC adjustment

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/16/1031452.aspx

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
NBC NEWS has adjusted the delegate split out of North Carolina, resulting in two more for Obama and two less for Clinton. Obama gets a net of 19 delegates, a 67-48 split, out of the Tar Heel State.

The NBC NEWS Delegate Counts:
PLEDGED: Obama 1,601 to 1,445
SUPERDELEGATES: Obama 292.5 to 276.5
TOTAL: Obama 1,893.5 to 1,721.5

Anytime there is an adjustment, she seems to get the short end of the stick.

:rofl:

I was looking at the list this morning and started to feel a little pity (just a little).

She was thin all along, assuming it would be over on Super Tuesday.

We know how GOP bullies were able to make a big difference in Florida in 2000. I'm not accusing Obama people of bullying anybody, but for the numbers to break his way so consistency, I wonder if some of that came from him having people on the scene at all the critical places and times.

leading to assumption they will SOON declare victory.

There is no going back now. Obama is the nominee.

DCW currently has him at 1608.5 on pledged delegates.

He's less than nine away!

IF a few more Edwards pledged delegates flip, he'll win in Kentucky even if he loses!

..maybe it will happen sooner :)

He is 17 away. We got a weekend and then Monday to enjoy the last days of GD:P as usual. Lets just get prepared!

DCW is now using http://www.thegreenpapers.com/pP8/The Green Papers] for its numbers, which has done a really good job of keeping up with official sources. The 1.5 delegate discrepancy comes from Obama including 2.5 extra and not including 1. The 1 he is not including yet is an Iowa Edwards delegate that has switched to Obama, no idea why he has not been included but it probably just has not gotten to the campaign (he also is not yet counting a new SC delegate but TGP is not either). The extra 2.5 come from Washington, Louisiana, and Democrats Abroad. The campaign is most certainly wrong on LA, as the certified total listed on the [link:http://www.demconvention.com/certified-delegates-ec">DNC site matches TGP. The Democrats Abroad error maybe the result of rounding, but they have included an extra ½ delegate over the certified results. Washington is not as clear as the results can not be certified until after their convention, but TGP matches the Washington State Democratic Party's numbers while the Obama campaign is 1 over. Regardless, Obama is very close to taking the 1627 pledged delegates necessary for clinching the majority, and whether it is 17 or 18.5, that number will be crossed next Tuesday.

So Obama is 18.5 away in getting the pledged delegates majority. Oregon will still put him over the top. Now if only another 75 super delegates would endorse between now and then, he'd be securely at 2025 total next Tuesday.:)

:kick:

Two steps closer.

:bounce:

:beer:

Love your Obama-Peace logo.

:-)

:evilgrin:

Man! - this is close!

I can't wait to see who wins!

;-)

Just curious I notice Hillary got 38 delegates and Obama got 34
but that was before the final numbers were released
seems to me they should have an even number of of delegates from Indiana
