You stuck to those numbers like glue. And you tipped off the party to make sure that final delegate was awarded properly to its rightful owner - Obama!

32. Congratulations thevoiceof reason

That is amazing! I missed the previous posts, glad I picked up on this one.

[grantcart]

33. Some guy in Mississippi gets a phone call at 3:00 PM

Sorry Bert I don't know what happened but you can't go.

No evidently there was a mistake at the Secretary of State numbers and some guy in Texas with too much time found it and

well Bert there is no sense crying over it your not going and its final. Hell they took it all the way to the DNC and they

checked the rules and the formulas and just stop blubbering you can't go. Your just not going to Denver.

[grantcart]

36. Oh sorry I didn't mean to reply to this thread

I got confused and meant to reply to the thread on 'what pets would be better in the White House'

Please excuse my interuption.

[Alhena]

44. This newspaper article confirms it ... local Jackson paper

http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080403/NEWS/80403035

Obama up 1 delegate, Clinton down 1 in Miss.

The Associated Press

New calculations by the Democratic Party show Barack Obama has picked up one delegate and Hillary Clinton has lost one delegate in Mississippi.

State party spokesman Terry Cassreino said Thursday that the count now stands at 20 delegates for Obama and 13 for Clinton.

Mississippi’s 33 pledged delegates were awarded proportionally during the March 11 primary.

Cassreino said an error was made when party officials first calculated the delegate split.

The state also has seven Democratic superdelegates who can decide which candidate to support. Three are committed to Obama, three are uncommitted and one will be chosen at the state party convention in June.

45. Glad to see it!

The Sun Herald ran the AP story too.

48. Wow... just wow!

You're the greatest!!!

[alteredstate]

49. You're needed at the West Philadelphia Obama office!

That's where the Obama staffers ended up after Saturday's conventions in Houston. And the serial out-of-state volunteers are risking jobs and credit scores to travel to PA to help them out!

[thevoiceofreason]

50. Actually, we are now trying to figure out how to get 4000+ Obama delegates to state!

[alteredstate]

51. I can't believe you have to do it all one more time!

Kudos to the folks in Texas for their commitment to our candidate!

And thanks for pointing out the mistake in Mississippi!

[stillcool]

52. Wow! that is so cool...

Congratulations! :toast:

[thevoiceofreason]

56. Thanks. It was fun seeing my phone show a number from Chicago.
