More P.R. delegate allocations

Posted: Sunday, June 01, 2008 4:50 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
NBC NEWS has also allocated 45 of 55 delegates in Puerto Rico. Clinton, so far, wins a 31-14 split with 10 delegates not allocated yet.

The NBC NEWS Delegate Counts:
PLEDGED: Obama 1726 to 1618
SUPERDELEGATES: Obama 329 to 293
EDWARDS PL. DELEGATES: Obama 16.5 to 0 (adding the 4.5 from Florida)
OVERALL: Obama 2,071.5 to 1,911

* Obama is 46.5 from the magic number of 2,118. (Clinton needs 207.)

* There are 242.5 total delegates remaining -- 41 pledged delegates at stake between today's contest in Puerto Rico (10 remain) and Tuesday's primaries in South Dakota and Montana. Plus, 201.5 undeclared superdelegates remaining.

* That means Obama needs 19% of all remaining delegates. Clinton needs 85%.

With 29% of precincts reporting, Clinton leads in Puerto Rico 68%-32%.

Thank you for the up-date Domenico.

I'm still wondering what the % of Hillary's victory is so far.

The front page of MSNBC's site is not displaying it.
Sorry Domenico, I see it is being displayed now. Wow, she's trouncing my guy. No need to post.
