"Hillary Leads With Super-Delegates"


TPM's Election Central:

A survey by the New York Times finds that Hillary Clinton already enjoys a 100-delegate lead over Barack Obama — that is, a 100-vote lead among super-delegates, the officeholders and other party officials who are ex officio delegates. Hillary has 159 votes, Obama 59, John Edwards 29, and Bill Richardson 25. The single largest contingent are the 291 who are currently uncommitted.

A word of caution: Before the Iowa caucus in 2004, Howard Dean had a big lead in the super-delegate count.
