Delegate Count

The delegate count for the US presidential nominations is worth looking at. On the Democratic side it is:

  1. Clinton 183
  2. Obama 78
  3. Edwards 52

One needs 2,025 for a majority.  Clinton looks well ahead but of her lead of 105 is due to her having 106 more super delegates than Obama.

For the Republicans it is:

  1. Romney 42
  2. Huckabee 21
  3. McCain 19
  4. Thompson 6
  5.  Paul 2
  6. Giuliani 1

They need 1,191 for a majority.

Next state is Nevada on the 19th plus South Carolina for Republicans only on the same day.

In Nevada the latest Democratic poll is Obama 32%, Clinton 30% and Edwards 27% so could go to any.  For the GOP it is McCain 22%, Giuliani 18%, Huckabee 16%, Romney 15%.

South Carolina looks pretty good for McCain – 28% to 19% for Huckabee.  If McCain wins both Nevada and South Carolina he will become the one to beat.
