FOXNEWS just had current combined vote total for yesterday across all the states.

Clinton   48.7%
Obama   48.3%

Time reports

Clinton: 50.2% (7,347,971)
Obama: 49.8% (7,294,851)

Either way it's a 50,000 vote difference or 0.4%

Realclearpolitics.com is reporting delegates as follows:

Clinton 1,012  Obama 933   That's Clinton + 79

Back out superdelegates and in pledge delegates it is
Clinton 801  Obama 805  That's Obama +4

States wins on Super Tuesday
Clinton 9  Obama 13   Obama+4

Who would have thought that after Super Tuesday, Obama would be leading in pledge delegates, even in votes on Super Tuesday, and won more states.

That my friends is a surge

How do they even do the popular vote when so many states held caucuses rather than primaries?

I think New Mexico is still out.  I'm assuming Hillary will win which is why I said she won 9 states
