Basicly how obama is winning bigger then what anyone predicted and they are breaking it down by race, gender, and age. For the Republicans They are rporting on how McCain is sweeping, and Romney is getting beat by everyone but is already starting fundraising for the next step in the election and saying he will win CA
They were hyping Clinton when she won the big states in the NE. Now that Obama's winning most of the West, they're hyping him. The media is just fickled.
I don't understand the delegate count above. They must be only counting committed Super Delegates as the totals are very low and the total delegates for each individual States don't show the number of delegates corresponding to that State. ( AL has more than 3 delegates)
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
[UPDATE 1]: Various sources have different figures for the total number of delegates so far pledged plus super delegates. This is CNN's version. The first figure is pledged via primary and caucus, the second is super delegates:
Obama's goal was to stay within 100 delegates. Mission accomplished.
Clinton's lead is all Super Delegates who can (and will) change as the political winds do. Obama's strength will keep more from hopping on the Clinton bandwagon.
Now it's a State by State race where Obama should do good, but Clinton has the establishment so...
I kind of feel that this election is just a continuation of the grassroots vs. establishment fight that's been going on in th Dem Party for a while. Obvious examples are the Dean movement in '04 and the Lamont/Leiberman fight in '06.
Obama is the beneficiary of the ever growing anti-establisment vibe.
(I myself think the Dem establishment and consultants are all but useless)

I'm with ya Troo.
It's a crying shame that HE is the antiestablishment vote. Really, mostly because of his newness. Not because he is THAT willing to stand up to much that the ole boys dictate.
Upon furthur consideration, perhaps I'd like to see Hillary get the nomination(knowing how that'd eff up votes on both sides), and have a strong third party threat steal the election, if both parties are in an uproar about their candidates.
Yeah-now I'll go back to telling myself that Metallica is still just a rumor as well.

Missouri has been changed to a Obama win 48.8% - 48.3% Clinton won popular vote nationwide by about 0.5% Some delegate counts now show Obama ahead. No one will know for sure for a while yet.
Not that it matters, This is a dead heat. On to the next primaries.
