Hillary picks up more delegates
According to her website:

“After final election results became available… Clinton… picked up delegates… from the New York primary and the Colorado caucuses, both of which were held Feb. 5… Clinton gained four delegates in Colorado and one delegate in New York.”

Here is a link: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hUPSXLSf9BMjfyPSCc2sdK8RtV8QD8VC4SHO0

Wonder why no posts on this as of yet? Maybe I'm just dumb.

12. Yes, Good For Her!
And I'm not a bit surprised there isn't much, if anything, about it here.

6. I think it boiled down that it would not change the results
I recall that the AP had agreed to hold off assigning one delegate from NY until that was resolved, but it is now resolved.

And from Obama Camp: Congratulations to Hillary and her folks for picking up those five pledged delegates.

11. I'll say it again: our lever machines have no audit capability. Those
missing votes are gone.

13. There never were any
initial canvasses showed some errors, but they were never part of any official count.

3. This was yesterday's news.
Due to the final allocations in some districts, she ended up with a few more delegates. Just as Obama did in CA. This weekend Iowa Caucus Delegates are selected, and Obama will likely end up with more delegates from that. Due to fall out from the other camps (Edwards, Kucinich, etc).

4. And still down 160 pledged delegates per RCP...
counting currently committed superdelegates, the gap is still 124.

+5 for Hillary doesn't do anything to change the calculus.

5. I read that last night. Good for Hillary.
She needs 'em. I think we'll continue to see these kinds of adjustments for the next few weeks.

10. Didn't Obama pick up a few extra delegates in ....
...California--several days after that primary?

That was never news.

I suppose Hillary will be organizing a victory celebration now--complete with cake, loads of
confetti and several bands playing at Madison Square Garden. :eyes:
