Super Tuesday and Delegates and Super Delegates, oh my!  So I’ve
been trying my best to follow the political races and I’m
getting confused beyond all reason. According to MSNBC, Obama
has 838 delegates to Clinton’s 834. However when I jump over to
CNN, Clinton is up with 818 while Obama is down with 730. The
Associated Press (found on the homepage of NY Times website)
shows that Clinton is leading Obama in the delegate count 1,000
to 902; whereas, the NY Times’ actual count is showing Obama
winning 34 to Clinton’s 21. Now why are the NY Times numbers so
drastically smaller than everyone else’s you might ask? Well the
reason is that, “the New YorkTimes counts only delegates that
have been officially selected and are bound by their
preferences.”  So what does this all mean? Heck if I know. The
only constant, no matter the numbers, is that the Democratic
race is a close one. Now the Republican side is a different
story. There are some discrepancies with the numbers for the
Republican on the websites I mentioned
