Real Delegate Count: Obama 1,012 Clinton 940

This is pledged delegates only, no supers.

This includes projections for those delegates that have not yet been officially awarded from super Tuesday.

Forget super delegates for now, forget Florida and Michigan for now. The only number that matters is pledged delegates.

Obama Total: 1,012
Clinton Total: 940

Yes, these numbers are the same as the Obama campaign but, when I run them on my spreadsheet, this is what I get too. All campaigns will spin but Obama's has been pretty straight up with delegate counts from day one (they were right on Nevada going 50-50 and they are correctly assigning New Mexico 50-50 even though there's no final count).

CNN's numbers are just stupid. They include super-delegates and they have yet to assign a bunch of delegates from super Tuesday.
