March 4, 2008 | Salon's delegate counts come from the Associated Press and CNN. Other news organizations have arrived at slightly different numbers; the differences are largely due to varying interpretations of each party's complex delegate-allocation rules. Delegate counts in some states may be tentative until officially ratified at state party conventions.
To secure the nomination, a Democratic candidate needs to win at least 2,025 delegates. A Republican needs 1,191 to win his party's nod.

C A note about caucus states: In these states, voters meet in small groups to choose their nominee. Some caucuses may not release popular vote totals -- in this case, the indicated percentages refer to the proportion of delegates won. Delegate counts in some caucuses may also be tentative until officially decided at state party conventions.
A note about delegate counts: For both parties we count only pledged delegates, which are determined by voting results. Both Democrats and Republicans also award "unpledged delegates," also known as superdelegates, which aren't bound by election results. Pledged delegates are awarded according to procedures that vary by party and by state.

S Super delegates are party officials who are free to change their minds at any time until the party convention. So tallying up super delegate results now is a dodgy affair. Our count, here, comes from CNN's survey of super delegates.
