News from the VotemasterNot much news today except kid power. The NY Times has a story about how the college-age children of the superdelegates are badgering them to come out in support of Barack Obama. One new primary poll though, in Oregon, where Barack Obama is leading Hillary Clinton.
The polling results for all primaries and caucuses are available as a Web page and in .csv format. Here are the delegate totals from various news sources rounded to integers (Democrats Abroad has 22 delegates, each with 1/2 vote). The sources differ because in most caucus states, no delegates to the national conventions have been chosen yet, just delegates to the district, county, or state convention so there is some guesswork involved. Furthermore, some of the unpledged delegates are elected at state conventions in May or June. Finally, the PLEOs (Party Leaders and Elected Officials) sometimes waver and may tell different reporters slightly different stories that they interpret differently. Delegates
Needed to win: Democrats 2024, Republicans 1191. Here is another source for delegate totals. -- The Votemaster |
