Election: Update
CA delegates: Clinton 207, Obama 163; McCain 155, Romney 6
Looking at the California congressional district results on the Democratic side, it appears Hillary Clinton
is going to get a bigger chunk of the delegates in that state than I thought.
So, overall, Clinton wins the California congressional district delegates 136 to 105.
As for the statewide at-large delegates, my calculations have Clinton winning those 71 to 58.
Again, that gives us an overall California delegate breakdown of Clinton 207, Obama 163.
