DCW currently has it as 269.5 to 262. Interesting that they would simultaneously have more Clinton SDs and fewer Obama SDs. I've got no idea who's right, but here are the last few days' activities according to DCW:
5-7-08 - Added Rep. Heath Shuler (NC) for Clinton.
- Added DNC Jerry Meek (NC) and DNC Inola Henry (CA) for Obama
- Added add-on Dan Gelber (FL)# for Obama
- Switched DNC Jennifer McClellan (VA) from Clinton to Obama.
5-8-08 - Added Rep. Brad Miller (NC) for Obama
- Added Rep. Rick Larsen (WA) for Obama
5-9-08 - Switched Rep. Donald Payne (NJ) from Clinton to Obama
- Added Rep. Peter DeFazio (OR) for Obama
- Added Rep. Chris Carney (PA) for Clinton

Politico has 268.5 to 262 before the changes I noted above. So difference is only one. Politico doesn't have "add-on Dan Gelber (FL)# for Obama" listed.

Well, DCW also has the change you noted above, though. (Of course, it might be just in the text and not yet be in their totals.)
As for the Dan Gelber discrepancy, that moves it in the wrong direction (as far as reconciling the two sets of numbers) as it's an extra one for Obama and not for Clinton.
