Regardless who wins, Barack has become a political Juggarnaut... Its just undeniable..



Georgia, Alabama, his home state of Illinois, and the Northeast states of Connecticut and Delaware -- both once viewed as Clinton strongholds. He is also projected to win the caucuses in Idaho, Colorado, North Dakota, Minnesota and Kansas.



All I gotta say is wow...This dude just came outta no where.

Yep, I kind of figured that. Barack has to close to at least 40%. That should get him enough delegates.

All the networks are pumping Hillary and McCain as inevitable


Karl Rove did the delegate calculations. Hillary appartently has still blown away Barack in delegates and Super delegates because of winning bigger states. Barack Romeny and Huckabee are way behind

Obama wins Alaska and is the apparent winner in Missouri though that race is very tight even with almost all of the vote counted.

Hmmm. . .how does that happen when he can't count SuperDelegates, and even if he did, she would only have a 80-90 delegate lead.

In "real" delegates, Barack had the lead coming into tonight, and most projection show him with a slight edge when the night is over. Analysts say depending on how Hillary does in California, she may end up with a 10 delegate edge.

Let's look at the break down rather than reading some opinions. . .

Hillary
Pledged 398
SuperDelegates (estimate) 193
Total 591

Barack
Pledged 370
SuperDelegates (estimate) 109
Total 476

So as you can see among pledged delegates so far this is Clinton's lead for the night. But the counting isn't done. Barack made the contests in New York/New Jersey close. He swept Illinois and Georgia. He has to be close in California and that should make the count about dead even. If the pledged delegate break down goes according to predictions, Obama has a slight edge.

Hillary 631

Barack 525

Projections put both over a thousand with Hillary (including her Superdelegates) with a 40 delegate lead.

Okay, here is the deal.

Let's humor Impact. Let's count the Supers.

First, let me quote an expert on the delegate count;

According to Chuck Todd just now on MSNBC, it appears that Barack Obama will come out of tonight leading 841 delegates to 837 delegates over Hillary Clinton. A split decision.

So Barack had a 15 delegate lead coming in tonight, now add 4. Hillary was ahead by 88 or so with the Supers. This works out to a lead for Hillary of 59 delegates. This is the problem;

Louisiana primary
Nebraska Democratic caucuses
Washington caucuses
Maine Democratic caucus
Maryland, Virginia and D.C. primaries
Hawaii Democratic caucus
Washington primary
Wisconsin primary


She might win one.

Her first real chance at victory will be Ohio on March 4.

I was just reading on another forum that Clinton got 15 delegates for Missouri and Obama got 6, even though he won.

Obama has done well. Has won pretty much all the caucases. Seems these pretty much held serve but he broke hilary's serve with Conneticut/Deleware wins
