1984 + 41 = 2025
According to the following trackers of Democratic nomination delegates, Barack Obama has reached 1984, which means that if he gets the expected 41 pledged from Puerto Rico, South Dakota, and Montana; he’ll be at 2025. Of course, there is a strong possibility that the goalpost will have been moved by the rules committee meeting tomorrow, but this is getting close to being over, and we can start the next race without a break.
Trackers:
DailyKos
DemConWatch
Wikipedia
I am fairly certain that the source for those three trackers is the same or that one or two are using the other - because they have pretty consistently reported the same numbers. So take this with a grain of salt.
I have been using RCP for my count, because they report in the middle of the pack… but for weeks they have reported the same numbers as DemConWatch and Wikipedia; but about 12-24 hours later (after more thorough confirmations I assume). Perhaps that will happen today, but for now they report Obama having 1980 delegates.
Another bit of positive news, Michelle Obama outdraws Bush and McCain in Arizona! Know hope.

2076 + 41 = 2117
The rules committee meeting yesterday moved the goal posts for the Democratic nomination by including Florida and Michigan delegations, but at half votes each delegate. The new numbers mean that 2117 is the new magic number needed to win (at least once Al Wynn retires). If Barack Obama secures 41 pledged delegates today and Tuesday, then he needs at least 25 more super delegate endorsements by Tuesday morning, but less than 66 of them to have Montana and South Dakota voters carry him to the nomination.
