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.
