Excellent delegate tracking tool

538 has a tool where they compare Hillary's and Bernies' performance against the delegate targets they need to reach 2000 delegates. They have estimated how many delegates each candidate would need in each primary contest to win the nomination. It is an excellent graphical representation of the race and what is coming down the road.

Btw - according to this tool, Cruz is fucked in the republican race.

thanks for posting.

By their metric, Sanders should be leading the delegate count right now.

I suspect he falls much further behind on his target after today.
