Two Websites for Updated Delegate Counts

Both Time and CNN have put up websites that keep a running count of what the delegate count is for each presidential candidate in each party. CNN's is found at http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/ and Time's is found at http://www.time.com/time/2008/primaries08/?xid=rss-topstories. . Of the two, we find the one at CNN a little easier to use because it uses numbers instead of a bar graph to show the delegate count.

After the New Hampshire primary the delegate count, according to CNN is 178 for Clinton, 78 for Obama, and 52 for Edwards. On the Republican side it is 30 for Romney, 21 for Huckabee, and 10 for McCain. The magic number for Democrats is 2026 delegates to win the nomination. The magic number for Republicans is 1191 to win the nomination.
