Obama 18 delegates, Edwards 17 delegates... a stomping?
Does someone know how many Delegates each actually got? I am thinking that Edwards beating Hillary's machine is a big story.
Just me...

See: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#D

Kucinich has one super. Wonder where the Biden and Dodd supers will go, or will they wait till the convention?

2. How many delegates did Hillary get? Also if Obama received
only one extra delegate why was his percentage points so many more than Edwards.

4. Because Clinton and Edwards get the majority of the super-delegates.

9. So, all of the handwringing and declarations that the race is over are based on...
a one-delegate lead?

Holy hyperbole, Batman!

(Disclaimer: I was aware of the delegate counts, and my ignorance of same is feigned.)

11. It's certainly turning into an interesting race.
We're about to find out if the great press results in a NH bump.

8. WTF is this...

:wtf:

On edit: At the bottom the CNN delegate scorecard I find...

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.

----------------

I am off to the DNC website to find out who these Super-delegate putzes are and why they get any larger vote than I do.

:grr:
