FSquirrel's Super Tuesday Delegate Prediction
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 07:44 AM by FlyingSquirrel
You heard it here first folks!

FS has officially pulled the following numbers out of his...... bushy tail.

HRC: 750
BO: 601
JE: 337

Making their grand totals (Pledged delegates only):

HRC: 798
BO: 664
JE: 365

I'll post my state-by-state predictions later.. 'night!

1. They're close to my numbers
I've looked at the numbers four times in the past month, and I usually get HRC at around 45%, BHO at around 35%, and JRE down in the 20%s range. (I've been using percentages to compare with the Republicans.)

Earlier HRC numbers were higher, but the trends are not changing rapidly -- though the "Keith Numbers" are quite high.

I am convinced that the press will calibrate their coverage to drive HRC/BHO as close to an even split as possible, and will do the same in the general election.

--p!

2. A brokered convention then - Edwards delegate count is double the gap between Clinton and Obama
Of course - these estimates are based on the current polls. Things could move in a different direction!

5. Would put her at 980, not counting any more she picks up on Tues
1428 Pledged Delegates and 424 Superdelegates left. If she continues to get 45% of the vote, she'd have 1,441 Pledged Delegates. If she continues to get 62% of the Superdelegates she'll have 494.

Grand Total 1,935.

Close but no Cigar, Bill! ;)
