It was rather unfortunate for Sen. Hillary Clinton, when she lost one of her ardent supporters and super delegates in the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Lagging already behind Sen. Barack Obama in the Democratic Delegate Count, Clinton was in desperate need of pledged delegates and super delegates.

Former New York Governor Spitzer, who was a super delegate endorsing Clinton, really left at the time when Clinton needed every single of her democratic delegates with her. Spitzer’s exit means Clinton loses one more of her total delegates in the Democratic Delegate Count, where Obama presently leads her by “124 Democratic delegates”.

Obama’s recent Mississippi victory won him 19 pledged delegates, while Clinton scored 14 pledged delegates in Mississippi. According to the latest update on Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Texas Caucus Results, Obama has 98 pledged delegates in Texas, while Clinton has 94 pledged delegates in Texas.

According to the latest Democratic Delegate Count, while the Michigan and Florida delegates issue is still undecided, Obama has total 1406 pledged delegates, while Clinton has 1246 pledged delegates.

However, Clinton maintains her lead in Super Delegate count. Clinton has 248 Super Delegates while Obama has 212 Super Delegates in the current Super Delegate Count.

Overall, Obama leads with total 1618 delegates (1406 pledged delegates + 212 Super Delegates), while Clinton follows him with total 1494 delegates (1246 Pledged Delegates + 248 Super Delegates) in current Democratic Delegate Count. Thus Obama maintains the total lead of “124 Democratic delegates” over Clinton. Obama currently needs 407 more delegates, while Clinton needs 531 more delegates to win the Democratic Party’s nomination. Official Pennsylvania polls are scheduled on 22 April 2008.

Total 2,025 democratic delegates are required to win the Democratic Party’s nomination. The final result will be determined aggregating the results of the remaining primaries. Here is the list of states left to vote in primary election.
