Clinton pledged delegate lead 1,100 - 778

It was a awesome night for the Clinton campaign. 5 wins on Super Tuesday 2 and plenty of pledged delegates added to her already formidable lead. 551 of the 691 pledged delegates have been allocated and thus far it’s 325 - 226 Clinton.

At this moment, per FiveThirtyEight’s pledged delegate tracker, it’s currently a +99 net gain for Clinton from her prior lead of +223. Tentatively, +322 lead for Clinton.

According to the tracker, there are still 140 delegates to be allocated.



Then Senator Obama largest lead in 2008 was 157 delegates. Clinton won several large states after he established this lead. She was never able to recover from this deficit. Her lead over Sanders is now more than twice as large as Obama ever had.

When the remaining delegates from yesterday are calculated, she should increase her current lead even further.

3. great!

think that's not yet the final tally, right? All those states still have delegates not counted so percentage could be larger for HRC

8. Because of some of the intricate rules for allocating delegates, there still are a bunch........

....outstanding from last night's primaries. Look for a few more to go in her column.

Stick a fork in him, he's done!

9. The Delegate Tracker

at HuffPost says there are 49 more pledged delegates & 27 more Supers left to allocate. They seem to update throughout the day, so I'm hoping they are pretty reliable.
