A Coming Milestone: Obama has a big lead and Clinton's running out of ways to close it

Sen. Clinton is out of real estate and time. It's over and I look forward to the GE.

A coming milestone


Matt Seyfang points out to me that, on Tuesday, we'll pass a milestone: There will be more superdelegates than pledged delegates left to fight over.


There are currently 404 pledged delegates left to be allocated; that number will be down to 217 Wednesday. By comparison, there are roughly 275 unpledged delegates (automatic and add-ons) still up for grabs.

That's a reminder that Obama has both a big lead and that Clinton's running out of ways to close it.

It's also a reminder that Obama's strong hand isn't only, or even primarily, about the math. It's about the politics
