Obama sweeps Democratic contests Saturday

(DailyKos reports that CNN's delegate counter includes superdelegates, which is disingenuous--superdelegates are "uncommitted" until the convention. I'd like a delegate count that reflects regular delegates only.)

Maine holds its contest today, Virginia tomorrow.

Edit: Ah, I found an article by The Guardian, a source I trust: "The final tally of delegates has still not been allocated after Super Tuesday. The 2008 Democratic Convention Watch website yesterday [Friday, Feb. 8] gave Clinton a total of 862 elected delegates to Obama's 883. But when super-delegates - the 700-plus members of Congress, governors and others who automatically have a vote at the conventions - are taken into account, she has 1,065 and Obama 996."

MSNBC's breaking banner projects Obama as the winner of the Maine caucuses.

Someone at DailyKos commented in a diary: "Barack is only winning because of the large African-American population, right CNN? Obviously, Maine is a state that he should do well in, demographically speaking. *snicker*"
