Along the line of Election excitement here in the district, a big topic of discussion during all these primaries is the delegate count. Ultimately these primaries determine how many delegates are pledged to each candidate when they all meet at the national convention in the summer.
I think it’s really interesting that there the totals reported vary dependning on who you ask.
I decided to compare some numbers as of now from the following sites (I only count pledged primary delegates and not superdelegates.):
Obama Delegate Counts
Barackobama.com: 910
CNN: 908
MSNBC: 855
Fox News: 1,054
Clinton Delegate Counts
Barackobama.com: 882
CNN: 877
MSNBC: 861
Fox News: 1,084
You can see Barack’s website and CNN say that Barack is in the lead whle MSNBC and Fox News say Hillary still has a small lead. Obviously these sites may not all have the same updated information but it’s interesting to see the numbers.
