Just one new superdelegate today. An Obama superdelegate. The significance this time is that according to CNN’s count (this happened with other people’s counts a few days ago) Obama and Clinton both have 273 superdelegates. So Obama has now, for the first time, caught up with Clinton in superdelegates. This was the last metric in which she was undeniably ahead. No more.
Updated stats:
The new delegate count is: Obama 1865, Clinton 1697, Edwards 19
In percent terms that is: Obama 52.1%, Clinton 47.4%, Edwards 0.5%
