The Dem delegate count after Nevada..
http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/1/19/18447/7623

Clinton won 13 delegates in Nevada on Saturday, compared to 12 for Obama, an AP analysis of caucus results showed. All of Nevada's 25 Democratic delegates have been awarded.
Clinton leads the overall race for delegates with 237, including separately chosen party and elected officials known as superdelegates. She is followed by Obama with 135 and former Sen. John Edwards with 50.

A total of 2,025 delegates are needed to secure the Democratic nomination.
Update: CNN just read a statement from Barack Obama saying he has more delegates than Hillary Clinton. Maybe he's not counting the Superdelegates? If so, that's a big mistake. They are there and they count.

3. Superdelegates can move. Pledged delegates don't.
At least that's how I understand it.

Obama beat Hillary on the pledged delegates, 13 to 12 (total 25).

4. That's an excellent point and highlights why only the Primary/Caucus delegates...
...are relevant at this time.

But you keep spinning, Kennedy.

5. Some say Clinton won 13 to Obama's 12
But, they can move too. I don't think anything is set in stone when it comes to caucuses.
