Information on Delegate Count and Campaign in OH, RI, and TX

I have pasted below information from the Clinton campaign sent to me by Massachusetts State Representative Kay Kahn about the current delegate count and the status of the campaign in upcoming primary states. I was canvassing in Warwick, Rhode Island yesterday. What surprised me was how infrequently people mentioned Obama's momentum. The voters I spoke with were either supporting Hillary or still undecided. When we finished the day with a visibility action at a major intersection, women especially were honking their horns and giving us thumbs up signs. Every where I go I encounter women enthusiatically supporting Hillary.

Only a Handful of Delegates Separate the Two Campaigns49% of the Delegates Needed to Secure the Nomination Still up for GrabsThe race between Senators Clinton and Obama is currently a virtual tie,with the campaigns now separated by a small handful of delegates - lessthan 2.5% of the 4,048 delegate votes to be cast at the DemocraticConvention.1 And 16 states and territories have yet to vote - including OH, TX, andPA - which means that 981 pledged delegates are still at stake. To put that in perspective, those 981 pledged delegates represent 48%of the 2,025 delegate votes needed to secure the nomination.
