Via Jerome at MyDD:

Here's the state of the race that includes all 50 states (TL adds: in other words, with Florida and Michigan counting):

Clinton leads Obama, 1127 to 1119, in pledged delegates.

Clinton leads Obama, 240 to 140, in super-delegates.

There are 393 remaining super-delegates.

There are 1301 remaining pledged delegates.

There are another 94 remaining delegates among the uncommitted, and John Edwards delegates.

Sources: Jerome says Green Papers and DemConWatch have the best and most accurate information.

    Edwards delegates (none / 0) (#1)

    Does anyone know if Edwards can give his delegates to another candidate?

    His delegates go somewhere, but he cannot "make" them.  As with super delegates, they are not bound to anyone.

    Jeralyn, why do so many different sites disagree about delegate counts, even with FL and MI out of the game?  And who, at the end of the day, gets to say how many candidates each delegate officially has?

    (ps: did I miss the reason why letters aren't showing up in headers?  WWVF?  Do I get a treat?)

    Nothing is official (none / 0) (#5)

    from the party yet, is that true? So many formulas and in some places all the votes not certified.

    technically "committed" until the state party convention; and become technically uncommitted if their candidate dropped out.

    national convention seats the 'official delegates' unless they are overridden by a vote of all delegates through a challenge process...ie. Fla and Michigan

    More fun with Democrats...
