Obama Takes Delegate Lead

Thanks to a very successful week for Barack Obama, he now has taken the delegate lead and the election momentum from Hillary Clinton. He has 1186 delegates while Clinton has 1181. Neither are close to the needed 2025 votes needed to lock the nomination and unlikely to get there. Unless Clinton starts turning things around, she may just lose this primary election as the people tend to enjoy voting for the perceived eventual victor. Right now the numbers say that is Obama.

If she focused more on her message and less wishy washy in words and decisions (such as not voting on the Telecom Immunity bill) then she might not be struggling now. People get tired of long non-answers and she is quickly becoming all too much an expert on that. Now is the time to focus less on stupid comments from reporters and start paying attention on getting her message across clearly. She apparently has decisive opinions, maybe its time to communicate them.
