Obama Picks Up New Ohio Delegate

I'm on an Obama Ohio campaign mailing list with some relatively high ranking officials.

I was just notified that thanks to absentee and provisional ballots, Barack Obama has picked up an additional delegate in Hamilton County(Cincinnati), OH. This means Hillary's net gain in Ohio was actually only seven delegates. Also on March 4th, Obama picked up 5 delegates in Texas. With Obama also netting 3 delegates in Vermont that day, and Hillary netting five in Rhode Island, this means that Hillary's BEST day so far of primary season 2008, her biggest delegate gain, was March 4th, with a net pick up of a whopping five delegates. Every other day Obama tied or beat her.

It's official. Happy to announce that late-counted provisional and absentee ballots have won one additional delegate for Barack in the Cincinnati area. That means Ohio was only a seven delegate loss and our national lead in pledged delegates has moved up to 171 delegates.
