| Obama now leads Clinton by 7 percentage points in pledged delegates. |

Edited on Wed Mar-12-08 01:41 AM by Drunken Irishman
Obama leads Clinton by 7 percentage points in pledged delegates. With roughly 82% of the pledged delegates already allocated, Obama leads in the total 53% to Clinton's 46%. This includes Edwards' 26 delegates, which puts him at about 1% of the total number.
The margin Obama has may not look big, but 7 percentage points is coming close to what one could call a comfortable lead for Obama. The fact 82% of the delegates have already been assigned to the candidates makes a Clinton comeback in pledged delegates even less likely.
Obama has also now taken the popular vote lead if you include both Michigan and Florida, barely, by 77,310 votes.

| 5. Face The Facts, Obama Apologists |
|
Other than having won more delegates by winning more states and more of the popular vote, you can't give me even a single argument to support your claim that Obama is winning.
Not one.

I was under the impression the person with the most votes/delegates etc was winning. Silly me.
