A delegate count by MSNBC gives Obama 1,941 delegates to Clinton's 1,772. He had 1,636 pledged delegates, with 1,627 representing a majority. Obama's success has been fueled by record fundraising. He reported raising $31.3 million in April, down from the $42.8 million he raised in March, and had $37.3 million in the bank to fund his campaign, his campaign said. Tuesday was the deadline for filing monthly financial reports with the Federal Election Commission. The Clinton campaign said it had raised $22 million in April, up slightly from $20.9 million in March. The campaign has admitted to being more than $20 million in debt and did not say how much cash it had or still owed. |
