And we have a new Democrat leader. Yes, it's only today that Kerry moved into first place in the race that counts, the delegate race.
You need 2161 delegates to win. 426 delegates have either been assigned via votes or are superdelegates who have declared a preference for a particular candidate.
The rankings are:
| Candidate | Delegates | % of Delegate Assigned |
| Sen. John Kerry | 167 | 39.2% |
| Gov. Howard Dean | 114 | 26.7% |
| Sen. John Edwards | 83 | 19.5% |
| Gen. Wesley Clark | 31 | 7.2% |
| Sen. Joseph Lieberman | 25 | 5.8% |
| Rev. Alfred Sharpton | 4 | 0.9%% |
| Con. Dennis Kucinich | 2 | 0.4% |
John Kerry is clearly in the lead but he's got to do better to end this fight before the convention.
