1. I wouldn't place much stock in these AP counts as they are wrong!

Not that many care, but Kucinich in fact currently has 70 delegates (which is more than Clark).

The Green Papers does a much better job at getting it close to right and is updated quite frequently. (The Green Papers still gets it wrong re Kucinich in that it doesn't list any WA delegates for Kucinich when in fact he picked up seven WA delegates at congressional district conventions.)
