Obama has widened the gap between him and Clinton today. He stands at 1918 delegates (up 9 since yesterday) to Clinton's 1719 (up 1 since yesterday). After tonight's primary tally, Obama should have about 1964 delegates to Clinton's 1776. She will have gained about a dozen delegates with her big win in Kentucky, but given the limited number of delegates remaining, Obama should be within about 20 by the concluding primaries on June 3rd.By the way, the Clinton team keeps demanding that the Michigan and Florida state delegates be seated (regardless of her agreeing to omit them back when she 'knew' her candidacy was inevitable). Even if those delegates were counted, Obama would be STILL be leading 2051 to 1911, and within 159 of the nomination (to Clinton's 300 delegate shortfall). So don't believe it when the Clinton team claims they would be in the lead if ALL 50 states were counted. It's just not true!
