1. I saw on CNN about an hour ago that they don't have all of CA tallied yet.

4. That is correct. And since CA has a very complex system for selecting delegates,
all the totals you've seen put up on TV so far are completely bogus.

According to them, both have 803 from Super Tuesday thus far.

6. NYT does not include the delegates that haven't been locked in by state conventions yet.
Pledged delegates from Iowa, Nevada, North Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho, Colorado, Alaska not included in their totals.

Many news organizations include delegate projections in their counts that are based on nonbinding votes for candidate preference, such as the Iowa caucuses. The New York Times counts only delegates that have been officially selected and are bound by their preferences.

7. Obama Won More Delegates On Fat Tuesday
Slate.com is reporting that give or take a few, Senator Obama, who won 13 states, (NM still undecided) on Tuesday, won approx 10 morwe delegates than Senator Clinton. Counting the pledged "Super Delegates," (who can switch their votes), Senator Clinton leads by approx 70 delegates in the total count.

The total popular vote for Senator Clinton and Obama was even at approx 7.3 million apiece.
