Obama has won eight straight races by big margins, but his overall lead is very slim.
PLEDGED DELEGATES: Out of about 2,100 delegates in states that have already voted, Obama only leads Hillary by about 130. 1110-980.

That's a margin of less than 1 percent of the pledged delegates so far.

PLEDGED PLUS SUPER: I saw a count of 1260-1210 as of late yesterday. Hillary is only behind in this total count by about 50 delegates. That's an even slimmer margin, when supers are added.

Obama is not running away with anything, folks. This thing is going all the way to the convention, unless Obama can continue his winning streak on March 4.

1. How do you get a differential of only 1% on pledged delegates?
Edited on Sat Feb-16-08 04:26 PM by Big Blue Marble
I am calculating 1110/980 = .13 or 13%
