WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is leading other Democratic presidential hopefuls in
the number of delegates needed to secure the party's nomination after winning five of seven state electoral contests
on Tuesday.

A tally of delegates by MSNBC shows Kerry picking up 119 after Tuesday's contests in South Carolina, Missouri,
Delaware, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and North Dakota. That gives him a total of 262 to date, according to
MSNBC tallies.

Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, who won the South Carolina primary, picked up 61 delegates for a total of 97 to
date. Those gains put him in third place in the delegate tally behind former front-runner Howard Dean who picked up
seven delegates on Tuesday for a total to date of 121.

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who scored a narrow win over Edwards in Oklahoma, picked up 44 delegates for a total
to date of 80, MSNBC said.
