Obama Claims Delegate Lead

Has Obama really passed Hillary? Could the person I voted for ACTUALLY be winning? That never happens. Technically, that has never happened. But that would just be too good to be true. Right? Why should a good candidate actually prevail? Why should someone who seems to be able to unite a country divided across all manner of fault lines actually move towards the position where he might actually be able to make a difference?

But it appears that Obama passed Hillary sometime this morning in actual delegate totals, 847 - 834. So I'm going to hold off celebrating. But I'm pretty damn pleased. It's not over. But it's moving in the right direction.
