Seven more superdelegates today. 4 for Clinton, 3 for Obama. Hey, Clinton got more delegates today! Oh, but wait, she got 57.14% of today’s delegates, which is less than the 61.15% she needed to be on pace to win, so once again, her path to the nomination still just becomes harder, even though she got more delegates today. She now needs 61.19% of the remaining delegates. But remember, the math doesn’t matter, it is all about momentum! Math is hard!
Updated stats:
The new delegate count is: Obama 1730, Clinton 1593, Edwards 19
