News Orgs: Obama Winning All Delegate Counts
By Greg Sargent - February 13, 2008, 9:11AM

Here are the latest delegate counts from the major news orgs after yesterday's lopsided Obama victories -- they all put Obama ahead of Hillary in total delegates, which is to say, pledged and super:

CNN: Obama 1,215, Clinton 1,190

AP: Obama 1,223, Clinton 1,198

CBS: Obama 1,242, Clinton 1,175

ABC: Obama 1,232, Clinton 1,205

So the largest spread has Obama up by 67. Nonetheless, as Mark Halperin notes, Clinton spokesperson Howard Wolfson this morning repeated the campaign's contention that the campaign will grind on all the way to the convention, calling the contest "essentially a tie."

1. There are too many numbers being thrown around. Does Obama,

or Hillary for that matter, still have a chance to win a majority of the elected delegates, or is a plurality the most either can achieve? A majority of the elected delegates would settled it. Otherwise :shrug: .
