Today CNN.com begins posting a shortened scorecard of convention delegates, by candidate, on the main page of its web site. Not off to a good start: the quick 1-2-3 inaccurately places Clinton 2nd behind Obama.

As those of us who watched the first votes actually being cast and tallied in the Iowa caucuses know, it was Edwards who came in 2nd. But every little bit helps. This is like all that commentary about how Edwards 'squeezed by' Clinton. Actually, Edwards was ahead of Clinton every minute of the night. There was no point at which she was ahead.

The more complete delegate breakdown linked behind the main page is more accurate. Also, it is a good indirect reflection of the conventional wisdom before people started voting: most of the early pledged delegates seem to have gone to Clinton. Edwards was shut out completely in New York, almost in California. Not so in Wisconsin, though.
