〔ＮＥＷＳ〕 「スーパーチューズデー」オバマ氏が「勝利」 獲得代議員でヒラリーを上回る。 米大統領予備選の山場、「スーパーチューズデー」での「勝者」は、日本のマスコミが伝えるように「ヒラリー」ではなく、実は「オバマ」であったことが、ワシントンの政治専門紙「ポリチコ」の報道で分かった。
「ポリチコ」の報道では、米３大ネットワークのひとつ、「ＮＢＣ」によれば、「オバマ」派代議員は「８４０人～８４９」。これに対して「ヒラリー」派は「８２９人～８３８人」にとどまっている。
オバマ陣営のカウントでは、「８４５人対８３６人」で、オバマ優勢となっている。
一方、英紙ガーディアンによれば、次回予備選の戦いの場となる７州には、ルイジアナやメリーランドなど黒人有権者の多い地域が含まれ、オバマ氏が勝者となりそうな見通し。
オバマ陣営は個人による小額献金の急激な積み上がりにより、資金面でもヒラリーを圧倒しており、「オバマ大統領」誕生に一歩近づいた形だ。
〔大沼・注〕 スーパーチューズデー後のオバマ候補の「映像」を見て、「あれっ？」と思った。実に落ち着いていて、「余裕と風格」さえ漂わせているのだ。
日本のある民放テレビが「ヒラリー圧勝」と報じていたので、ちょっと「意外」だった。
そこで調べてみると、結果は実は「オバマ勝利」。
な、何なんだ？ これは！……
ところで本ブログは「オバマ」支持を表明している。（参考までに言うと、ニューヨーク・タイムズの論説委員会は「ヒラリー」支持を表明し、その理由付けに対し一部から批判が浴びせられている……）
勝った、買（ママ）った！ スーパーチューズデーで勝ったぞぉ～！
ガンバレ、オバマ！ オオヌマ（ママ）、ガンバレ！（笑い）
日本政府は「オバマ政権」を視野に、対応策の検討に早急に入るべきだ。

Obama claims delegate lead

With the delegate count still under way, NBC News said Obama appears to have won around 840 delegates in yesterday contests, while Clinton earned about 830.
In a surprise twist after a chaotic Super Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) passed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in network tallies of the number of delegates the candidates racked up last night.
The Obama camp now projects topping Clinton by 13 delegates, 847 to 834.
NBC News, which is projecting delegates based on the Democratic Party’s complex formula, figures Obama will wind up with 840 to 849 delegates, versus 829 to 838 for Clinton.
Clinton was portrayed in many news accounts as the night’s big winner, but Obama’s campaign says he wound up with a higher total where it really counts — the delegates who will choose the party’s nominee at this summer’s Democratic convention.
With the delegate count still under way, NBC News said Obama appears to have won around 840 delegates in yesterday’s contests, while Clinton earned about 830 — “give or take a few,” Tim Russert, the network’s Washington bureau chief, said on the “Today” show.
The running totals for the two, which includes previous contests and the party officials known as “superdelegates,” are only about 70 delegates apart, Russert said.
The bottom line is that the two are virtually tied.

Super Tuesday: A split decision
Media restrained in Super Tuesday coverage
Obama won 13 states, some of them smaller, and Clinton won eight.
On Wednesday morning, the battle was on to shape public perceptions about Tuesday.
The Clinton campaign said it was crunching its delegate numbers but was not sure it was correct that Obama got more.
The Obama campaign sent an e-mailed statement titled: “Obama wins Super Tuesday by winning more states and more delegates.”
Campaign Manager David Plouffe said: “By winning a majority of delegates and a majority of the states, Barack Obama won an important Super Tuesday victory over Sen. Clinton in the closest thing we have to a national primary.”
“From Colorado and Utah in the West to Georgia and Alabama in the South to Sen. Clinton’s backyard in Connecticut, Obama showed that he can win the support of Americans of every race, gender and political party in every region of the country,” Plouffe said. “That’s why he’s on track to win Democratic nomination, and that’s why he’s the best candidate to defeat John McCain in November.”
The Obama campaign attached an Excel spreadsheet containing “state-by-state estimates of the pledged delegates we won last night, which total 845 for Obama and 836 for Clinton — bringing the to-date total of delegates to 908 for Obama, 884 for Clinton.”
