In the delegate chase, Obama has pulled ahead of Clinton, even when the support of uncommitted super delegates is figured in. According to CBS News estimates, Obama holds a razor-thin lead with 1,134 delegates overall to 1,131 for Clinton.

A 3 vote lead? Yes that is good news but not good enough.
Edit: CNN still has Clinton in the lead at 1,148 with Obama at 1121

Ultimately you want him to hit the threshold in committed delegates alone, then not only will superdelegates line up, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't. Plus the majority of SD's that haven't said one way or the other are more likely to go with someone who has such a commanding committed delegate lead.

CNN likely gave more of the undecided's to Hillary, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're rooting for her as well.
That would make 2 of us.

I heard how they were determining this. Both candidates have given them lists. Not everyone on those lists have publicly announced anything, but they feel it more or less seems reliable that they'd vote that way.
What CBS might be doing is only counting SDs who have said themselves or at least verified their names in either category. That is MIGHT, CNN said what I noted, the CBS thing is FFMA.
