The Problem With The Super Delegate Counter

April 8th, 2008 by liberalgeek · 9 Comments

Apparently, today Hillary lost a pledged superdelegate and Obama picked up quite a few (from 246-216 v. 245-221, today).  This gets Obama to only a 24 delegate deficit.  The problem is that I cannot seem to find the damn supporting documentation on the numbers.  If anyone knows where that data might be, I’d love to see it.  The thing is little more that one of those “Love-Meters” on the boardwalk at the beach if I don’t have anything to base my happiness on…

    Geek,
    I believe they track and provide the details (albeit mixed in with a lot of other crap) here

    I stole borrowed that widget from you; it’s a good thing, but it never quite matches up with other numbers I see in the newspapers.

    Feel free to borrow or steal. Credit should go to Steve Newton at Delaware Libertarian for recommending it to me.

    I put up an answer to your question of where to find the data last night, but for some reason it did not post here. If you can’t find it in your spam queue, I’ll look it up again tonight

    Thanks, Steve. It was spammed…

    Geek (and Dana) I put it through this time as a dead link

    so it shouldn’t activate your spam blocker

    So, I looked there and expected to see news like “Today Joe Blow from Alaska announced that he was changing from Clinton to Obama.” But I don’t see that. There is a lot of good stuff there, but not the real supporting documentation that I was expecting.

    It shows up intermittently and the site is not well designed. I know because one day I did find exactly what you are looking for. I just don’t remember how. . . .

    Thanks. I’ll keep my eye out for it…
