The morning after Super Tuesday... Clinton comes out ahead

[PaulJonson]

What's the sense in voting for Edwards at this point? I just don't get it.

Yer right. Just vote for whoever is ahead at this point.

BAAAAAAAHHHHH.....

[woodstock]

Most of his deligates were from Iowa (prior to stepping down)

but it's interesting to see just how many votes John Edwards did get...

Nevada 396
North Dakota 283
Kansas 53
Idaho 137
Minnesota 946
Delaware 1,241
Utah 3,525
Missouri 16,747
Connecticut 3,408
Oklahoma 42,718

It'll take days, with all the absentee votes and figuring out the apportionment of delegates. I have to say, I think if Hillary wins, she might choose Barack for a running mate, but if Barack wins, I wonder if he'll choose Hillary?

Why do I think the answer is 'no'?

But this is one exciting race. And then Huckabee making strides? Ugh.

Obama has more delegates the trailer trash queen is behind. God I hate this woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm pretty worried about Hillary winning the nomination. I'm almost positive she won't be able to win the general for reasons that mostly have to do with her personal baggage.

Don't misunderstand me: I like Hillary fine. I just think she'll lose. It would be just like the Democrats to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

I hope to hell the transvestite goes down in flames.

He's got nice hair.

The delegate numbers changed wildly throughout the day. I don't have a dog in this race, but watching the race is exciting.

In every state Hillary's total deligates came out higher than projected. Was she projected to lose parts of NY?

In looking at the other states where primaries have yet to happen, her projections look good and and if they if they jump higher like yesterday's elections she'll (probably) remain in the lead.

Didnt Obama narrow the delegate gap from before Super Tuesday?

For $400 a pop, even you could have a good hair!!

Hillary Clinton still holds the lead...

Hillary Clinton
Pledged: 618
Superdelegates: 193
Total: 811

Barack Obama
Pledged: 614
Superdelegates: 106
Total: 720

Woodstock, what's the difference between pledged and superdelegates?

Just heard on the news that Obama has slipped ahead of Hillary in the delegate count. He's ahead by four. Yikes.

A pledged Dilegate has sold his soul to the A super Dillegate is on a rocket sled to hell

The Clintons are like cancer,you get rid of one and another grows.
I hope Obama kicks her commie ass all the way back to Arkansas

[therising]

Currently Clinton has 783, while Obama has 709 a difference of only 74. Edwards can be critical with 26 delegates. If Edwards pledges his delegates to Obama all he will need to do is gain 49 more delegates than Hillary and he's the nominee.

Is that how it works? Edwards gets to pledge them to whomever he chooses?

Currest as of this hour (time of this post) ...

Hillary Clinton
Pledged: 630
Superdelegates: 193
Total: 823

Barack Obama
Pledged: 635
Superdelegates: 106
Total: 741

From what I understand, yes.
Pundits were talking about this before he dropped out. They were commenting on him lasting after Super Tuesday. He could have gained somewhere near 100 delegates and that he would be in a strong position to be "King Maker".
