Worried about Obama’s delegate count? You shouldn’t be. For a start, the fully counted votes in California now give him 4 delegates that were originally attributed to Clinton. Most news services haven’t updates their stats yet. Secondly, he’s been picking up a whole lot of super-delegates over the last month.

As Kos points out, Obama has gained 14 new delegates over the past week even before the Mississipi vote comes in, where he is widely expected to win again.

In the bigger picture, HRC lead in super delegates stood at 97 one month ago today. Today her lead is only 32. HRC has gained 18 Super delegates in the past month while Senator Obama has gained 83. a month ago nearly 2 out of 3 declared super delegates were Clinton supporters now it is just over one half.

Of course, the media narrative has been that he is losing momentum and everyone’s been too easy on him etc etc etc. But that rubbish doesn’t count. Delegates do.
