It's the day after Super Tuesday, also known as Lane Hangover Wednesday as most folks expected a victory...yesterday. Okay, so I made that up.
Where do we stand? Here's the current delegate count.
Hillary Clinton
Pledged: 632
Superdelegates: 193
Total: 825
Barack Obama
Pledged: 626
Superdelegates: 106
Total: 732
John Edwards
Pledged: 26
Superdelegates: 0
Total: 26
As of now, a total of 1,518 delegates have been awarded out of 4,049 maximum delegates.
The magic number, as they say in sports, of delegates needed to win: 2,025
CNN gives us these definitions of pledged delegates and superdelegates.
Pledged delegates: Won by candidates in primaries and caucuses; pledge to support their candidates at the national conventions.
Superdelegates: Democratic officeholders and party officials guaranteed national convention seats; can support the candidate of their choice.
