Further facts about today’s “frontrunner”

p.s. to the previous post:

So how many more delegates does the annointed frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, have over Barack Obama? (After all, this is a race for delegates — not the opinions of campaign reporters.)

None. They’re tied.

Democrats | Polls
Candidate Delegates
won to date / Super delegates committed / Delegates needed
Hillary Clinton 37 0 1,988
Barack Obama 37 0 1,988
John Edwards 18 0 2,007
Joe Biden 0 0 2,025
Chris Dodd 0 0 2,025
Mike Gravel 0 0 2,025
Dennis Kucinich 0 0 2,025
Bill Richardson 0 0 2,025

While we’re at it, here’s what it looks like on the Republican side:

Candidate Delegates
won to date Delegates needed
Mitt Romney 59 1,132
Mike Huckabee 34 1,157
John McCain 17 1,174
Fred Thompson 5 1,186
Ron Paul 4 1,187
Duncan Hunter 2 1,189
Rudy Giuliani 1 1,190
Sam Brownback 0 1,191
Tom Tancredo 0 1,191

You’ll note that one of that race’s “frontrunners,” Rudy Giuliani, has half the number of delegates as Duncan Hunter (or, as we like to call him, “Who?”). Mr. Giuliani’s number of delegates is: 1.

Still, that’s 1 more than Dennis Kucinich has. Bear that in mind the next time you see or hear from him.
