    I will repeat the numbers from my 1/17 posting. As of the Michigan primaries, we had the following delegate count:

    0190 Clinton
    0103 Obama
    0051 Edwards
    0001 Kucinich

    Out of 4049 delegates.

    0054 Romney
    0022 Huckabee
    0015 McCain
    0006 Thompson
    0001 Giuliani
    0001 Hunter
    0000 Paul

    Out of 2380 delegates.

    The current count for delegates is:

    0230 Clinton
    0152 Obama
    0061 Edwards

    0072 Romney
    0029 Huckabee
    0038 McCain
    0008 Thompson
    0002 Giuliani
    0006 Paul
    0001 Hunter

    Looks like Hillary is winning, right?

    Think again.

    Now here is the projections based on the current trends:

    1780 Obama
    1538 Clinton
    0731 Edwards

    1106 Romney
    0445 Huckabee
    0583 McCain
    0123 Thompson
    0031 Giuliani
    0092 Paul

    You ask now, why does Hillary have 230 to Obama's 152, yet Obama is on the winning trend? It's simple. The democrats have "super delegates" which are not beholden to the state votes. They are communistic (union) voters. So far, of the 490 super delegates, Hillary's lead is accounted for by these commies supporting her, but 38% of them have cast their votes. Only 490 super delegate votes remain undetermined. Only 137 of the 3253 state delegates have been counted. Obama's trend with the state delegates, which represent the people rather than the unions is almost 50% at 63. Hillary gets 48 of them, and Edwards gets26.

    The trend is it continues, has Obama running against Romney in November.

    Is this the first year that super delegates have existed?

    I don't know, but leave it to the democrats to have delegates that represent powerful interest groups rather than the people.

    No, I remember the media talking about super delegates in 2000 when it briefly looked like Bradley would push Gore for the nomination.

    Well, I guess if youre the one making laws, but someone hasnt challenged this?
