What just happened on the CNN delegate count?? Obama 1553, Clinton 1438
An hour or so ago when I looked at the numbers, he was just under 100 ahead.

Texas Caucuses come in finally?

9. Califonia, Texas and other adjustments
Califonia moved 8 delegates to Mr Obama +4 for him -4 Ms Clinton, Texas moved several for him from the caucus, and a few states certified there results which firmed up divisions by precinct totals that were not nuanced in the CNN count.

3. They are just slow in updating
Superdelegate endorsements, plus the certified results from California which turned out to have given Obama 67 rather than 63 delegates and so on. Chances are they just updated several things at once.

5. Clinton News Network
IF Hillary were ahead the totals would be updated hourly.

Go to RealClearPolitics.com for the updated totals.

6. You're not kidding
Reverse the situation for a minute. What would be the story had Obama lost 11 contests in a row, most, if not all, by double digit margins?.

7. real clear has it 1589-1470, but add three to that margin to include the...
TPM projected margin after the caucus results are official, which real clear doesn't have in place yet:

He's up by 132, including the supers.

8. Several people complained about their pro Hillary slant by underreporting
his superdelegates and acutal pledged delegates. Real Clear politics has been correct the entire time.
The Clinton News Network could no longer hold onto fake numbers.

10. CNN still shows 0 for Texas caucuses. California redo input.
