News outlets today reported two stories that alter the pledged delegate counts for both candidates.
First, the final pledged delegate to be allocated from North Carolina was awarded to Senator Obama, giving him a 65 to 50 edge in that state, and a net +11 pledged delegate lead from both contests last week.
Second, a Clinton pledged delegate from Maryland confirmed that he would be voting for Obama at the Convention, effectively taking a pledged delegate away from Clinton while adding one to Obama's total. Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson used to be an Obama supporter and then switched to Clinton and now has switched back to Obama.
This news, in addition to the three new automatic delegates and one new add-on delegate for Obama, brings the race to this point:
Pledged Delegates: Obama 1592 -- Clinton 1425
Automatic Delegates: Obama 266 -- Clinton 265.5
Add-On Delegates: Obama 17 -- Clinton 10
TOTAL DELEGATES: OBAMA 1875 -- CLINTON 1700.5
