Obameter: Barack's slight lead in delegates

Thanks to Mike, who suggested an "Obamater" for my blog. (He also suggested the blog's name and URL.)

So, our new Obameter feature will help us track Barack's progress toward winning Democratic delegates in his race for the presidential nomination. Thanks to MSNBC, we can track this live via this handy-dandy widget.

As of today, MSNBC gives Obama an 861 to 855 lead in delegates with 2,025 needed to win. Since neither candidate seems likely to get the necessary majority prior to the convention, it may be an interesting (or possibly destructive) Democratic convention.
