Only 98 of 158 delegates have been called so far on the Democratic side, and CNN hasn’t bothered to predict a single delegate on the Republican side, but there have been no updates in the almost three and a half hours since my last post so I figure I’ll go ahead and do my update for Wednesday.
You can see on the chart at a visible narrowing of the gap between Obama and Clinton. That is of course the result of the delegates declared so far from the Pennsylvania Primary.
Lets run the numbers.
The new delegate count is: Obama 1694, Clinton 1556, Edwards 18
In percent terms that is: Obama 51.8%, Clinton 47.6%, Edwards 0.6%
(Yesterday it was: Obama 52.0%, Clinton 47.4%, Edwards 0.6%)
2025 delegates are needed to win.
There are 780 delegates yet to be determined.
Obama needs 331 more delegates to win.
Clinton needs 469 more delegates to win.
In percentage terms, that means:
Obama needs 42.4% of the remaining delegates to win.
This is DOWN from the 42.9% it was yesterday.
Clinton needs 60.1% of the remaining delegates to win.
This is UP from the 59.3% it was yesterday.
Bottom line, based on the results so far from the Pennsylvania primary…
Hillary Clinton is WORSE OFF TODAY THAN SHE WAS YESTERDAY.
Not that you could ever tell that given the media coverage.
