Obama, Clinton pick up delegates in Georgia

By GottaLaff

Just 55 more...

Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton each picked up a delegate in Georgia on Saturday as state Democrats selected their delegation to the party's national convention in Denver this summer.

That brings Obama's overall delegates to 1,971 - only 55 shy of the 2,026 needed to secure the presidential nomination - to Clinton's 1,780. [...]

cretary Stephen Leeds, an Obama supporter, and Verna Cleveland, who was Clinton's Georgia state director.

Obama won Georgia's Feb. 5 primary. Of the state's 30 at-large and pledged delegates, 20 are Obama supporters and 10 are Clinton supporters.

As for those superdelegates we keep talking about:

Georgia also has 13 superdelegates. Seven are committed to Obama and three to Clinton. Three are officially undecided, including former President Jimmy Carter.
