Obama's Bad Week? Umm, Actually He Ended Up With More Than Clinton

Based on the latest, Obama picked up +7 more delegates than Clinton during her big "comeback" last week, furthering the gap. Don't believe it? Check it out:

Per Obama's count (if Clinton had a similar count, I'll happily link to it), Obama started last week with 1,203 delegates, Clinton with 1,043. Since then:

Obama Clinton
OH
66 75
RI 8 13
VT 9 6
TX 99 94
WY 7 5

Total 189 193

So that's a four-delegate gain for Clinton.

But that wasn't all. Obama also picked up three more super delegates last Tuesday -- Texas Democratic Party Vice Chair Roy Laverne Brooks, DNC member Mary Long of Georgia and South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler.

That pegs things at 192-193 for the week.

And then on Saturday, Obama provided material help in Bill Foster's dramatic upset victory in IL-14, filming an ad and sending hundreds of volunteers into the district.[....].Oh, and Bill Foster is now a super delegate and repaid Obama's largesse by promising him his vote.


Update: It was even better for Obama last week. The final certified vote in California swung four votes Obama's direction. So officially, Obama gained four delegates last week, unofficially (including that Wyoming unpledged delegate), it was five.

Update II: And there were two new super delegate endorsements for Obama on Saturday -- NV State Party Vice Chairwoman Teresa Benitez-Thompson and Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV).

That makes it a +6 delegate week for Obama officially, +7 unofficially.

Update III: And another super delegates signed up last Tuesday as well -- Georgia Democratic Party chairwoman Jane Kidd.

So make that +7 officially, +8 unofficially.
