Obama Gains 14 More Delegates

[dkf]

Obama gained eight of the 14 delegates won in the Jan. 3 caucuses by former senator John Edwards, who has since dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, along with one won by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to the Obama campaign. Caucus-night projections showed Obama getting 16 delegates and Clinton 15.

With the other six Edwards delegates standing firm, Obama's camp claimed 25 delegates from Iowa, compared with 14 for Clinton. The Associated Press reported late Saturday that, in final counts from California's Feb. 5 primary, Clinton picked up two more pledged delegates and Obama gained five.

According to AP's count, the Iowa and California results give Obama a national lead of 119 pledged delegates and superdelegates over Clinton.

"This is a very significant improvement for us," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said, referring to the Iowa result.

5. OK Why the F are they showing a picture of Clinton with this article?

God I hate the MSM. Those bastards can't simply tell anything straight. Right next to the article where the facts say Obama has achieved a major unexpected win, the photo they go with is Clinton campaigning in PA.

The right wing media is pulling out all the stop to try to get their girl nominated.
