News Orgs: Obama Ahead Of Hillary In Pledged Delegates, Catching Her In Super-Delegates
By Eric Kleefeld - February 11, 2008, 9:29AM
So with Barack Obama's sweep of the weekend contests, where does the Democratic race currently stand? Here are the current calculations from some major news outlets, of just where the delegate count stands, including super-delegates unless otherwise noted:
NBC: Obama 943, Clinton 895 (Not including super-delegates)
ABC: Clinton 1,127, Obama 1,110.
CBS: Obama 1,134, Clinton 1,131.
AP: Clinton 1,136, Obama 1,108.
CNN: Clinton 1,148, Obama 1,121.
Bear in mind that these delegate counts are snapshots of how these networks are calculating the full allocation of delegates based on election results — with some states yet to be fully apportioned — as well as differing counts of how many super-delegates each campaign has. The consensus is that Obama has a considerable lead in pledged delegates, while Hillary is able get a narrow edge after her super-delegate advantage is factored in.
One thing to look out for: If tomorrow's Potomac Primary goes especially well for Obama, he could take a full lead in all calculations, including super-delegates.
