NYT: Delegate count w/in 5

[elixir]

Previously posted elsewhere on DU, great information about the delegate count.

******************************

As of today, The New York Times reports this as the current delegate count:

Barack Obama: 1,117

Hillary Clinton: 1,112

Do the math; there is just a five-point margin between them.

In Wisconsin, Obama won 34 delegates and Hillary won 29 delegates.

New York Times survey of superdelegates" at: http://tinyurl.com/2v2dxb

Barack Obama: 144
Hillary Clinton: 189

Do the math; Hillary leads by 45 superdelegates

1. NYT doesn't count caucuses

but they do count superdelegates. They are a joke.

3. Which is the most idiotic thing ever.

Both on the caucuses & on the supers. Especially given that a few of Clinton's supers have already jumped ship.

4. If they don't, why do they both have over 1100 delegates.
