Crunching The Clinton-Obama Numbers

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro (hat tip to Tim Reese at www.demookie.com) ~ Audra Ostergard, the lone remaining Nebraska superdelegate, publicly endorsed Obama, per a campaign release. Obama now has the backing of all six Nebraska superdelegates. Today, Obama announced two superdelegates (Ostergard and OK Gov. Brad Henry) and Clinton announced one (TN Rep. John Tanner).

Clinton now holds a 263-239 superdelegate lead. Obama leads by 133 overall: 1,729-1,596. Obama leads by 157 in the pledged delegate count: 1,490-1,333.

The Pennsylvania pledged count (updated 4/23, 6:15 pm): Clinton 82-73 (three delegates still to be allocated.)

There are 408 delegates up for grabs in the remaining nine contests.

And a new addition, some "fun" with POPULAR VOTE numbers...

Without MI/FL: Obama: 14,447,566 Clinton: 13,965,192.

With FL, but NOT MI:Obama: 15,016,607 Clinton: 14,822,400.

With MI/FL, including "uncommitted" for Obama: Obama: 15,254,369 Clinton: 15,150,551.

With MI/FL, giving Obama 0 in MI and Clinton 328,000-plus (the only metric which gives her a lead): Clinton: 15,150,551 Obama: 15,016,607.
