++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
EDIT: The original subject line of this thread was:
Latest NYT delegate count: Obama 1117, Hillary 1112 (lead: 5)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I was surprised to see that according to the New York Times, Obama has a lead of only 5 delegates over Hillary Clinton right now. I guess they all have different methods of counting delegates "in the bag".
http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/delegates/index.html

Here are all the latest delegate counts I can find:
NYT: Obama 1117, Hillary 1112 (lead: 5)
CNN: Obama 1319, Hillary 1250 (lead: 69)
AP: Obama 1351, Hillary 1262 (lead: 89)
WaPo: Obama 1358, Hillary 1264 (lead: 94)
MSNBC: Obama 1168, Hillary 1018 (lead: 150)

If we ignore the biggest and smallest leads, it looks like Obama has a lead of somewhere around 80 delegates.

It's not impossible for Hillary to come back but she has to win big on March 4th.
