Where the race really stands
When people
talk about Pennsylvania, a state Hillary was expected to win, had a nearly 30
point polling lead a month ago that dwindled to 5, that she actually won by 9,
here is what you need to tell them. Because the mainstream media
won't.
As of
today, the pledged delegate counts are 1487 for Obama and 1331 for
Hillary.
Superdels
already decided: 232 Obama, 255 Hillary
Total
estimated delegates as of today: 1719 Obama, 1586 Hillary.
It takes
2024 delegates to get the nomination.
Here are
the remaining races, conservative (in Obama's favor) estimates of the votes, and
the delegates awarded.
Guam, 4
delegates, 2 each (with only 4 delegates, wide margins will still split them
2/2)
NC: Obama
54% (65), Clinton 46% (50)
IN: Obama
43% (31), Clinton 57% (41)
WV: Obama
43% (12), Clinton 57% (16)
KY: Obama
43% (23), Clinton 57% (28)
OR: Obama
52% (27), Clinton 48% (25)
MT: Obama
54% (8), Clinton 46% (8)
SD: Obama
52% (8), Clinton 48% (7)
PR: Obama
42% (23), Clinton 58% (32)
So that
would place the delegate totals (including the pledged and supers that have
declared to date) at:
Obama 1915,
Clinton 1798
The
remaining uncommitted 308 superdelegates will need to decide
this.
If Hillary
receives 60% of them (unlikely, since Obama will have the lead in pledged
delegates), that will put the totals at:
Obama 2038,
Clinton 1983
In fact,
Hillary will need a full 74% of the remaining uncommitted superdelegates to
reach the 2024 number. The number is likely more than that since I was very
conservative in predictions of the remaining races.
All the
stuff on this page above this line can be summarized as
such:
Obama has
already won the nomination.
