Obama surges ahead in pledged delegate count

Obama's sweep of Saturday primaries in Louisiana, Washington and Nebraska has helped to put him ahead in the pledged delegate count, 918-885, according to CNN.

If Obama can keep that slight edge in the primary vote -- or even extend it -- come convention time, the scenario we described on Friday will become a reality: the superdelegates will be faced with the choice of backing either the popular (Obama?) or establishment (Clinton) candidate. It will be interesting to see if, in that scenario, Hillary's 220-plus superdelegates will stay put.

Let's see what happens in Maine today and Maryland, D.C. and Virginia on Tuesday.
