Uh, well, no, he isn't, Sal. He *is* "catching up"
in the supers, but she's still ahead, as I said; and
he isn't "way ahead" in either the popular vote or
the delegate count; he's ahead, but not by much in
primary terms.
Sorry, but this is still a very close race. It's
the Obamabots you're getting your "information"
from who are misrepresenting it.
Latest figures from MSNBC.com:
Dels. Supers Dels.
Won Committed Needed
Barack Obama 1,416 230 379
Hillary Clinton 1,252 259 514
And she's only behind in the popular vote by around
700,000, a very small percentage of the total votes
cast.
If Obama would stop blocking a revote or other fair
solution of the Florida-Michigan problem, it would be
even closer; she'd probably pass him in both the
popular vote and the delegate count. But it would
still come down to the convention.
This isn't even an unusually close race compared to
many of those in the past.
