Yero,
Clinton has never lead in the delegate count. She won the popular vote in Nevada, but lost the delegate count to Obama in Nevada. She has 12 delegates from Nevada to Obama's 13 delegates.
Here is the total delegate count (excluding Michigan)
Obama 63
Clinton 48
Edwards 26
Michigan is still in dispute since the DNC stipulated that they won't sit their delegates for violating party rules vis-a-vis the primary date. Obama and Edwards decided to take their names off the ballot to strengthen the national party's rules which were later upheld by a court. Recently Clinton has hinted at sitting delegates from Michigan and Florida. This is undermining the DNC...but the win at any cost mentality of bubba and his wife is legendary. No surprises there.
Most people believe that once a candidate secure enough delegates to win the nomination, Michigan and Florida delegates will be allow to attend the convention. However the clinton campaign's move to try to pad their count with disputed delegates will not wash.

Heh...it's a beautiful moment out there in DC. News is that Senator Tedd finally endorsed Bama.
Correction: It was clinton that won the delegates in Nevada. In the overall after the SC primaries, now Obama leads both in delegates and votes' counts. It is a quite a momentum there.
Yero...

Clinton on the other hand is widely supported by the elderly. Obama’s message is very powerful. You can see how in Nevada, he won in the number of delegates but fell below Clinton in the total precincts’ counts. John Kerry’s endorsement coupled of with the many others will no doubt give his campaign a flavor. I am sure Kerry didn’t mean any harm to the Edwards but the least one would have expected as at now would be a neutral stance. I am sure others will disagree including myself. Caroline Kennedy did well by her endorsement of Obama, for her father was a man driven by passion; he won
my heart after I followed his nuclear stance. He believes if one nation should have it then all should be entitled to it. I can imaginarily see a brilliant Senator Tedd Kennedy endorsing Obama in the near future. > > The big bang where over two dozens states will echo their votes on February 5th 2008 will be another defining moment. > > Now here is the pessimistic argument. I don’t subscribe to that. That America is not going to live beyond class, race or gender in this campaign. So far, they proved otherwise. Apparently they are ready for Obama or Clinton which will give them the first president of black blood or the first female president. > > Thanks for Sharing Sister Jabou.> > Regards,> Yero> > Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:24:35 -0500> From: [log in to unmask]> Subject: Fwd: Caroline Kennedy Endorses Obama> To: [log in to unmask]> > Caroline Kennedy Endorses Obama> AP> Posted: 2008-01-26 22:24:18> NEW YORK (Jan. 26) - The daughter of President John F.
