70% looks doable for Hillary now.

Hillary may win the battle but not the war. The African American community will vote in droves for McCain since he is liberal enough compared to the wingnuts in the Republican party. Or they will just sit out this election.

Chuck Todd confirms Obama's delegate gains in Iowa today..

An Update: In fact, Obama did gain 7 delegates, Clinton gained 1, and Edwards dropped a few. From First Read:

From NBC's Chuck Todd
We have final delegate allocation estimates directly from the Iowa Democratic Party based on today's 99 county conventions. The results, Obama indeed did gain 7 delegates to up his total from 16 (earned on Jan. 3) to 23 now. Clinton upped her total by 1, from 15 to 16 and Edwards dropped 8 delegates to 6. Those six will be up for grabs, perhaps, at the Iowa Democratic Party state convention in June.

Here's the updated delegate total, counting these new Iowa allocations:

Pledged Count: Obama leads 1,407-1,252
Superdelegates: Clinton leads 253-217
OVERALL TOTAL: Obama leads 1,624-1,505
