Re: There Is PLENTY OBAMA Bias and unual math
by Wasabe

Additionally, the Delegate Calculator's numbers are high for both candidates. The Calculator's 1413 pledged is also what CNN is showing for Obama, though other counts are lower by 5-10 delegates or somewhat higher (such as the NYT with 1,418.5). However, if you look at Hillary's numbers, the Delegate Calculator's estimate of 1255 is especially high - higher than the pledged delegate numbers from the NYT (by 4.5), AP (by 6), NBC (by 4), CNN (by 13), and CBS (by 19). In fact, I haven't seen any delegate counts giving her as much as 1255 pledged delegates, other than on Slate.

Bias? No; the outcome of an estimate-based process.
