Obama's pledge delegate lead now stands at 170!
Obama gained more delegates today than Hillary did in Ohio.

Somebody has to do the math but this makes it even more impossible for Hillary to catch up.

Get on the board and lets rally behind our candidates. I swear the republicans are laughing at our expense.

7. To the haters, trolls and the rest of the flotsam of fear and......
ANTI supporters, "Ill back anything but" supporters, couching your fear and impotence in commentary, but now its like cockroaches and the lights been flipped on and many of you scurry to hide and run away, and the ones left out our getting stepped on daily and you will eventually be squished.

Its an entropy cycle and your desperation as well as your inelegance and vulgarity are the only things a few of you bond under.

I challenge you to write a paragraph of the positive for your candidate, as in string together a large block of your own words, not cut and paste, because I believe you will show yourself for what you are, not Ms Clinton's supporters, many of whom I think are very smart and educated about their candidate, but simply anti-social haters taking out the perceived failure of what ever source of your pain and your life failures under the guise of fake support.

To Ms Clinton's true supporters continue your success of pointing out your candidates positive contributions and good luck in seeking her nomination.

To the bottom feeder one sentence anti support trolls and haters of anything and anyone, enough is enough.

Good day, we have a Democratic presidency to fight for and you are no longer welcome to waste our time or energy.

DU for the Democratic President 08

15. No she won't. It's not "tight" when 30 point wins the rest of the way won't even get you tied.

5. Hillary now needs 67% of remaining pledged delegates to tie
According to my numbers. I have Obama's lead at 175, based on the numbers on Obama's site plus the change from Iowa today.

Obama only needs 35% of the remaining pledged delegates to reach an unbeatable number of pledged delegates (50% + 1)

Including the superdelegates, Hillary needs 62% of remaining pledged+super to win the nomination.

12. I'm thinking it may be wise to rally around "none of the above"
and pressure the delegates to deadlock and choose a compromise candidate endorsed by both Hillary and Obama.

17. My figure came from real clear politics

Their iowa figures needs more adjustment. He won the Iowa race 25-14.
