WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on the Democratic presidential nominating contests Saturday in Alaska, Hawaii and Washington state (all times local):
7:45 p.m.
Bernie Sanders clearly had a good day, winning big in Washington state and Alaska. But that's not impacting Hillary Clinton's overall lead in the Democratic presidential race much due to a smaller pool of delegates at stake Saturday.
Ultimately, Sanders still needs to win more than 67 percent of remaining delegates from primaries and caucuses as well as uncommitted superdelegates to clinch the nomination.
Based on primaries and caucuses to date, Clinton now has 1,228 to Sanders' 947.
Including superdelegates, or party officials who can back any candidate, Clinton has at least 1,697 to Sanders' 976. It takes 2,383 to win.
Hawaii is also voting Saturday.

(30,058 posts)Getting the rest of the super delegates will be a larger order. It would probably be a large order for Hillary to get on pledged delegates but I think she will get many of the super delegates.

(24,396 posts)until and unless those supers committed to Hillary switch to Bernie. Then and only then are we allowed to count them along with the pledged delegates.
