After winning NY, CA, and NJ
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 11:04 AM by MrWiggles
Pledged delegates after Super Tuesday (according to CNN website at 11 a.m. EST on 02/06/2008):

Clinton = 590
Obama = 603

Super delegates count:

Clinton = 193
Obama = 106

Total delegate count (including Super Delegates):

Clinton = 783
Obama = 709

Celebrating Hillary victory because she won the big states is nothing but hot air. Percentage wise, the delegate count is much tighter after Super Tuesday than before Super Tuesday. The gains, although modest, were made by Obama and not by Clinton, if things stay as they are.

4. It was there around 11:00
Not there anymore. Like I said on the OP, it was reported at the specific time.

MSNBC has Obama ahead:

Like I said in the OP, if this holds true, celebrating the win in big states is nothing but hot air. At the end of the day what counts is how many delegates you end up with.
