Update on Obama's "bad week"
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 04:25 PM by gabeana

As for the elections:

Obama Clinton
OH 66 75
RI 8 13
VT 9 6
TX 99 94
WY 7 5

Total 189 193



"That gives Obama a four-delegate victory since last Tuesday. Add the four delegate gain out of California after that state's vote was certified, and we're up to 8 delegates for Obama. Throw in the four delegates Clinton lost in California, and that's 12 delegates for Obama. Today we had DNC member and super delegate Everett Sanders of Mississippi endorsing Obama, so make that 13 delegates for Obama.

So officially, Obama has a 13-delegate advantage for the week even before Mississippi votes tomorrow. Throw in the unpledged delegate in Wyoming who will certainly be an Obama delegate, and unofficially, Obama notched a 14-delegate gain in this "week from hell" for him."

SO sue me I like Daily Kos

8. Ummm.. math error

"That gives Obama a four-delegate victory since last Tuesday."

Actualy, adding up the numbers given there, that gives Barack a net -4. So then... +4 for Barack in cali = net 0, then minus for in cali for Clinton = Barack net +4. Then superdelegates.
