Counting the delegates
Posted by Jill | 3:26 PM
Loath as I am to give any of the Big Boiz any credit for anything, there's no denying that Jerome Armstrong's delegate counters are pretty nifty, so if you want to keep track of the delegate counts for both parties, check 'em out in the left-hand sidebar. And while you're there, you might note that right now, going into New Hampshire, Barack Obama has two more delegates than John Edwards has. Just in case you were tempted to believe the punditocracy that seems to think Edwards is done and should drop out now.

I don't understand how this delegate system works. How does Hillary have more than Edwards if he beat her in Iowa? How does Mitt Romney have the most on the republican side? Are these all Iowa delegates? Why don't they report one who won the most delegates instead of the vote count, since delegates are what really matter? I don't get it.

The chart is right, super-delegates aren't included.

Current Democratic count:

Clinton 169
Obama 66
Edwards 47
Richardson 19
Kucinich 1

How is Clinton so far ahead? And if she is, why she said to be in meltdown mode?

Clinton is ahead because many superdelegates in other states have already pledged their vote for her.
