He's ahead in the delegate count and popular vote even counting Florida and Michigan.

Wiki allocates the Florida delegates 67 to Obama, 105 to Hillary and 13 to Edwards. Michigan has 128 pledged delegates and she got 55% of the vote (with noone else on the ballot). 55% of 128 is 70 delegates (I know the math is more difficult than that when allocating pledged delegates but I don't know how else to do it "fairly" with only one candidates.

He has 1845 now with supers. Add 67 for Florida he has 1912.

She has 1693 with supers. Add 105 for Florida and 70 for MI and she has 1868.

He's still up by 44 dels.

If you count popular vote he's up about 78K with Florida and MI and counting zero for the caucus states.

If you add some number for the caucus states based on the delegate vote he's up 188K.

If you play by the rules and leave out FL and MI but add a porportional share for caucus states he's up 811,000 votes.

For Hillary supports angry about Bush stealing the election, we'd feel the same way if she did this time.
