May 6th delegate math: Obama 101 - Clinton 86

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/29/delegate.counter/

I got the delegate calculator as close to the vote % as I could.


Total popular vote change: Obama +210,363 (based on current numbers with 99% reporting in both states).

2. CNN's delegate numbers are a joke. They're trying to help Hillary.
CNN and the New York Times are both ridiculous Hillary shills. They are both trying desperately to spin the results to put Hillary in the best light.

The Obama site totals are by far the most accurate.

3. Those calculators are crap
They don't take into account the split of the statewide delegates or the district distribution.

But the overall picture should be clear. Think the delegate difference might be 1-3 less.

Haven't found district numbers for Indiana yet.

4. Because of district allocation
It will probably be 99-88

NC 66-49 for Obama
IN 39-33 for Clinton

The district breakdown favored Clinton in IN. We will have to wait on official district counts to be sure, as currently only county level data is available.
