Boston HeraldSen. Barack Obama’s campaign said today it has surged to a 28-delegate lead following the crucial Super Tuesday contests, with top campaign staffers declaring that the Illinois senator fought off Hillary Clinton’s efforts to emerge as a strong front-runner last night.
“Through the first 26 states, we have won more states, won more delegates, won more total votes than Sen. Clinton,” Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said this morning. “It’s clear the (Clinton’s) strategy was predicated on trying to secure the Democratic nomination last night, and on that score they failed miserably.”
Plouffe said Obama has emerged with a delegate lead of 910 to Clinton’s 882, a tally that foretells an extremely close battle that will only intensify in the crucial days ahead. Clinton aides could not immediately be reached for their take on the numbers.
Tallies last night showed Clinton with a narrow lead in the delegate count. According to an Associated Press count this morning, Clinton has 845 delegates to Obama’s 765. The AP reported Obama yesterday won 546 delegates to Clinton’s 542, with some returns yet to come in.
