So Who is Winning Anyway???

Yesterday Obama swept the Saturday caucus's. But CNN, ABC and several other news outlets are still showing Obama as losing in the delegate count. MSNBC is showing Obama as winning. What the hell??






The answer in the discrepancy is in the superdelegate count. Obama is winning the in the delegates that people vote for, however Hillary is winning in the count that includes the superdelegates. A good analysis can be found here.



The most certain way for the Dems to lose this would be to go against the popular vote and have the super delegates anoint Hillary. If they do that, the turn out in November will be overwhelming amongst the Republicans, and nonexistent amongst disenfranchised Democrats.

Hillary is Out of Cash

So she is donating $5 million dollars to her campaign.....

DailyKos has more info.

Don't get me wrong - I would vote for her in a second over any of the tools running on the right.

Obama Takes A Slight Lead

It looks like the Senator from Illinois has a slight lead. Politico has the delegate totals (847 for Obama 834 for Clinton). You can Donate to the Obama campaign at his website.
