CNN has pledged delegates as: Obama 1078/Clinton 969

edited to correct using website totals.

That means if she hopes to catch up with TX and OH she needs 57% and that's only if she ties in all other contests.

1. Wow The margins of victory tonight were huge

[Kittycat]

2. That can't be right? Is it?

[CreekDog]

6. It's pretty close, he was just a little behind after Super Tuesday

and he's won all the contests since, BIG.

13. No

The real count is Obama 1,052 and Hillary 951. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#D

16. i got the numbers from the teevee, maybe that's the prob.

:shrug:

[jackson_dem]

21. It must have been a glitch

After reading your thread I checked and they are showing Hill was 951.

3. Does Puerto Rico have delegates also?

When do they vote?

[EvolveOrConvolve]

4. I think they voted last weekend

[TheWraith]

20. No, they don't caucus until June 7th. NT

[jackson_dem]

14. Yes, 59 and it is winner-take all

Hillary is down by only 101 and most of that margin can be erased in Puerto Rico, if it isn't erased in big states like Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina yet to vote.

5. I am sick and fucking tired of them padding Clinton's #'s by including a FEW superdelegates

it is dishonest.

[CreekDog]

8. If she gets the nomination from superdelegates while he wins pledged, it's a disaster for the party

How many people would stay home?

[TexasObserver]

7. Yes, Obama is about 200 delegates ahead among earned delegates.

She isn't winning Texas.

We will be the knock-out punch that sends her to the mat for good.

9. And those are not the complete numbers yet. Maryland only has counted

13% of their vote, so the actual allocation of delegates isn't even close to complete. Not sure how complete DC and Virginia numbers are yet.

10. Wrong...Here's what they have:

Obama's wins give him more delegates than Clinton. According to CNN calculations, Obama has 1,195 delegates to Clinton's 1,178.

To clinch the Democratic nomination, a candidate must get 2,025 delegates.

Obama had led in pledged delegates, but Clinton had held the lead when superdelegates were factored in.

12. I said pledged delegates, prove it wrong

[jackson_dem]

15. You misread

[CreekDog]

18. got it from the tv, but the web says 1052 / 951 for Obama

how's that?

[keep_it_real]

17. Is it still possible for a candidate to get 2,025

[jackson_dem]

22. According to John King if one candidate wins EVERY state 55/45 that won't be enough without the SD's

[jackson_dem]

11. 950, no 850. Now she is up to 951. Obama has 1,052

[LadyVT]

19. They are still counting...

[joshcryer]

23. Yep, she lost.

She's 100 pledged delegates behind. She needs to beat Obama by at least 41% in TX, PH, and OH to be able to take the lead by a significant margin (100-200 delegates), then she's OK.
