Delegates

No one seems to agree on the delegate count. Every source cites a different number. What is clear - Obama is ahead in elected delegates. CNN says he leads 908 to 877. She still leads in party insiders aka superdelegates but the margin is closing. The Washington Post has total delegates this morning at 1084 to 1057 with Hillary in a slight lead. There are 237 delegates up for grabs on Tuesday in DC, Maryland, and Virginia and Obama is ahead in the polls there. If he wins big there, he could be in the lead with total delegates with two weeks to go until what will likely be the final contest in March 4th with 444 delegates up for grabs primarily in Ohio and Texas. That's two weeks for him to have more momentum and that could really help him in these final states. But is it enough? This one's a nail biter.
