Many many weeks after it would have made any real difference, or shown anything beyond a characterless need to attach oneself to the person who will win anyway, Edwards endorsed Obama. Today 8 out of Edward’s 19 delegates announced they will vote for Obama at the convention. In addition, Obama got 7 more superdelegates today. This makes Obama’s total delegate gain for today 15 delegates. Clinton got one. Ouch.
So, this now puts us here:
The new delegate count is: Obama 1899, Clinton 1719, Edwards 11
In percent terms that is: Obama 52.3%, Clinton 47.4%, Edwards 0.3%
2026 delegates are needed to win.
There are 421 delegates yet to be determined.
Obama needs 127 more delegates to win.
Clinton needs 307 more delegates to win.
In percentage terms, that means:
Obama needs 30.2% of the remaining delegates to win. (It was 33.7% before WV.)
Clinton needs 72.9% of the remaining delegates to win. (It was 70.8% before WV.)
