Another Pledged Delegate for Obama. . . in Mississippi!
Mississippi has recalculated -- Obama's margin of victory is above the 62.5% threshold, and so he adds a delegate and Clinton gets one taken away.

That means that Obama's pledged delegate lead is now at 169.

1. Thank you for this great find but DU recounted not Mississippit
This was the direct result of DUer thevoiceofreason who recalculated the numbers and advised them last week


Today he got confirmation that the Secretary of State was ammending their figures to his.


He advised DU of this earlier today.


You can find that thread here and if you go down the thread you can find a reference to his earlier thread
