Was California winner take all?
According to this chart Clinton is ahead of Obama (in pledged delegates) by just under 100. However, while this graph gives Clinton credit for 66 delegates from California, it shows none going to Obama.

How is California's delegation parceled out?

1. I don't think so, but I have heard it will take most of today to figure out who got how many
delegates.

2. No. There's a complicated formula for apportioning the
delegates in CA.

3. There are no winner-take-all states in the Democratic race...
...NONE.


Obama will get 150-200 delegates from CA.... Hillary will get 230-280.

4. I didn't think so.
So, basically, the race is even closer than MSNBC's graph shows.

5. It is winner take all...for the Republicans.
The delegates in the Democratic race are apportioned, but I don't know the mechanics of that works out. :shrug:

6. California has 241 District, 81 At large and 48 Pledged
And 66 Super Delegates with an additional 5 add on Super Delegates.

My guess is that district delegates are split based on vote in each congressional district. Then At Large delegates are split based on state vote. Not sure about the 48 pledged.

While the Super Delegates are separate.
