    Update on the Primaries

    Well, we already know that McCain has essentially won the Republican nomination and gained the blessing of George Bush, to the delight of both Democrats and Republicans.

    The Democratic nomination is still up in the air. As of noon central time the Democratic Party delegates are distributed as follows:

    Obama 1,520 Clinton 1,424
    Pledged: 1,321 Pledged: 1,186
    Superdels: 199 Superdels: 238
    Needed to Win: 2,025

    The caucuses in Texas are still counting but apparently Obama currently has a slight edge of 52% to 48%, again as of noon central time.

    Take a look at the New York Times election guide also for alternative tallies.
