Obama Enjoys 4-Delegate Swing from NC + DELEGATE UPDATE

Originally it was reported that Senator Obama netted 15 pledged delegates (65-50) from North Carolina after the May 6th primary.

NBC News has revised that total, noting that the actual margin was 67-48 in favor of Obama. This shift represents a +2 gain for Obama and a -2 loss for Clinton, giving Obama a 4-delegate shift and a new number of pledged delegates.

The new NBC total of pledged delegates for Obama and Clinton is 1601 -- 1445.

I have added the seven pledged Edwards delegates that have declared their support for Obama since Edwards' endorsement of Obama, so my total is 1608 -- 1445, for a lead of 163 pledged delegates.

Obama is 19 pledged delegates away from the 1627 magic number for a final pledged delegate majority.
