Okay, from the superdelegates on DCW (which is not updated as yet) and the declared delegates and superdelegates from:
http://www.dailykos.com/...
I need to update my delegate count again.

1627 pledged delegates and 2024 overall delegates are the current majorities. From my current count, Obama needs 136 and 279 respectively and Clinton needs 288 and 414 respectively to reach those majorities. From the Obama website, they have it at 134 and 277, so I must be missing 2 pledged delegates somewhere.

But, anyway, here is what I can count (sorry, still don't know how to fix the blank space problem):

Well, the superdelegate trickle is increasing, which means the 4/26/08 CCPS update needs updating. So, taking the newly endorsing superdelegates: I get 11 new superdelegates that have declared who they have endorsed. UPDATE: An additional 10 new superdelegates and 1 switch from Clinton to Obama

Side note: I used html tables but couldn't figure out how to close up the white space.

Anyway, I checked the list from CCPS and here is what I get:

My favorite diary entries is the delegate math ones. So using delegate/superdelegate counts from Democratic Convention Watch, leaning superdelegate counts from CCPS, and additional add-ons from DCW. With 60% leaning Clinton/Obama, we have:

                  Obama     Clinton     Rest     Source
Pledged         1490    1336                      DCW
SuperD            239     259                       DCW
Leaning Super 129     38                77      CCPS
Additionl Addons 5       3                 56      DCW
Subtotal (est.) 1863    1636             133

Bryant Gumbel's interview on HBO's Real Sports from earlier this year is here:

where you can see Barack Obama as a regular guy.

I haven't found it here on the Daily Kos, so I thought everyone might have missed it today since the Philadelphia "debate" on ABC "News".

Comments: Decent passer! There is some weird Bryant Gumbel questions to Barack Obama's brother-in-law the coach.

I just read Pocketnines diary re: Pat Buchanan.
http://www.dailykos.com/...
I tried to post this as a comment, but it didn't work, so here is my first diary entry.

Pocketnines thought we should have a plan of action re: Pat Buchanan's current comments on African Americans. If Pat Buchanan is up for a dialogue, we could recommend that he take the Thirty Days challenge. Morgan Spurlock (the SuperSize Me guy who did the McDonalds diet for a thirty days) produces a new documentary series called Thirty Days, where someone lives very differently for thirty days. Pat Buchanan could live for thirty days as an African American with an African American family, attempting to get a job, find housing and transportation. There must be makeup artists that could make this believable. There was an interesting Thirty Days episode "Immigration" where a MinuteMan lived with an illegal immigrant family.

Basically, what Pat Buchanan lacks is empathy. Perhaps thirty days as an African American could help him obtain that empathy.

BTW, I love Pocketnines diaries on the popular vote and delegate math. As a major math geek, the details are fascinating.
