WASHINGTON D.C. — Here you go. Remember, state wins mean nothing on the Democratic side. We need to wait until Chuck Todd or some other politico’s politico calculate the delegates on a district by district basis. Those delegates are listed in parenthesis.

Democrats

Hillary Clinton:
New Jersey (127)
New York (281)
Massachusetts (121)
Oklahoma (47)
Tennessee (85)
Arkansas (47)

Barack Obama:
Illinois (185)
Georgia (103)
Alabama (60)
Delaware (23)
North Dakota (21)
Utah (29)
Kansas (41)
Connecticut (60)
Minnesota (88)

Mike Gravel:
None, but he’s still in the race!!

Republicans

John McCain:
New York (101)
Illinois (70)
New Jersey (52)
Connecticut (30)
Oklahoma (41)
Delaware (18)

Romney:
Massachusetts (43)
Utah (36)

Huckabee:
Alabama (48)
Arkansas (34)
West Virginia (30)
Georgia (72)

In his speech tonight, Huckabee claimed that this is a two-man race, and he’s in it. Meaning that Romney’s win in his home state of Massachusetts and in Mormon-heavy Utah aren’t worth anything. That’s a bit of spin that will probably be as effective as John Edwards’ post-Iowa claim that he and Obama were the only real contenders left in the Democratic race.

THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

At least we hope they will, because that’s our approach to raising the $350,000 in online donations we need right now—during our high-stakes December fundraising push.

It’s the most important month of the year for our fundraising, with upward of 15 percent of our annual online total coming in during the final week—and there’s a lot to say about why Mother Jones’ journalism, and thus hitting that big number, matters tremendously right now.

But you told us fundraising is annoying—with the gimmicks, overwrought tone, manipulative language, and sheer volume of urgent URGENT URGENT!!! content we’re all bombarded with. It sure can be.

So we’re going to try making this as un-annoying as possible. In “Let the Facts Speak for Themselves” we give it our best shot, answering three questions that most any fundraising should try to speak to: Why us, why now, why does it matter?

The upshot? Mother Jones does journalism you don’t find elsewhere: in-depth, time-intensive, ahead-of-the-curve reporting on underreported beats. We operate on razor-thin margins in an unfathomably hard news business, and can’t afford to come up short on these online goals. And given everything, reporting like ours is vital right now.

If you can afford to part with a few bucks, please support the reporting you get from Mother Jones with a much-needed year-end donation. And please do it now, while you’re thinking about it—with fewer people paying attention to the news like you are, we need everyone with us to get there.
