Delegate Count Update

Figured it was about time to update the old delegate tracker, so here are the new results:

CNN MSNBC FOX CBS ABC AVERAGE
Clinton 1589 1334 1592 1586 1586 1537.4
Obama 1724 1490 1723 1715 1724 1675.2

Wikipedia shows 1489 1/2 pledged for Obama, showing them by state. Politico shows 237 superduperdelegates for Obama, listing by state and by name. This leads to 1726.5, probably was 1724 rounded down or up on Thursday. The same analysis can be shown for Clinton leading to 1593.5, MSNBC is obviously not counting any superdelegates as their numbers essentially agree with the pledged delegate numbers, so they don't belong in your table. CBS is clearly missing some of the Obama superdelegates, but maybe they are less certain than the others.

If you exclude the clearly irrelevant MSNBC numbers, you would come to approximately 1588 vs 1721, a more realistic (although still low) result.
