Updated RCP delegate count: Obama leads again by over 100, including supers

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html

Currently: 1570-1465, or 1366-1222 among pledged delegates.
I like the delegate count of RCP - seems to be reliable and frequently updated.
Still some delegates to be allocated from TX caucuses, so Obama stands to win a couple more.
Obama's lead in delegates (including supers) is now LARGER than a week ago.
And it'll only grow larger after Mississippi.

4. Indeed. Obama's lead is even larger among pledged delegates only.

He's leading clearly no matter how you slice it.

5. Yup.

And that's why they've been switching from Clinton to Obama.

They can do math.

3. This is why the Clinton campaign has switched their tune from "delegate numbers"...

to "populat vote numbers" today. They know that they can never pass Obama in the delegate count. And he still leads in the popular vote.

6. Yes, and popular vote is not a reliable indicator

because of Caucus states, some of which don't tabulate voters at all (and Obama won most of those). But even then, Obama is leading the popular vote even if you count FL (counting MI is non-sense).
