OBAMA only needs 5.6% to get to 2209
If I've done the math correctly, Obama only needs 5.6% to win the party nomination with 2209

According to the NYT website, here are the current breakdown of delegates:

Obama: 1913.5
Clinton: 1715

There are 403.5 delegates (elected and super) left unapportioned. For the moment let's assume that half go to each candidate:

Obama: 2100.25
Clinton: 1901.75

Now, OBAMA only needs 2209 delegates to win (VIA HILLARY MATH). You can see he is only 108.75 delegates short of this number. That is the number of delegates (pledged and super) who need to switch from HIllary to OBAMA . 108.75 is only 5.6% of Hillary's 1901.75 delegates.

I hope this shuts up everybody who says there is no mathematical way for OBAMA to get to 2209

Of course he will likely get more than half of the delegates and his current 90% of the supers and go WAY over even without Floriday and Michigan

Once Hillary gets this idea, its over Obama. Quit allready.
