So Sanders came out with only 35 more delegates yesterday? HILLARYCLINTONGROUP

[KittyWampus]

Is that correct?

[Chichiri]

1. Almost certainly not.

Almost 70 delegates have yet to be allocated.

[liberal N proud]

2. Not sure about the number but Hillary maintains a large delegate lead.

3. Think delegate count not done yet

Washington State delegates not fully allotted.

4. It's 2008 all over again

Obama got a huge lead in the south and Hillary could never catch up. She won some big states and I got excited. Then the reality was she gained little in delegates.

Amazing but I like being on this side in 2016

5. Hillary's pledged delegate lead is now 268.

The chances of Bernie netting 268+ delegates in the remaining contests is nil.

The Sanders campaign knows this. Their strategy doesn't involve catching Hillary in pledged delegates. It's about saying they have momentum and enthusiasm on their side, and that those imagined, unquantifiable attributes will override the very quantifiable delegate count in the minds of the super delegates, who will desert Hill and go over to BS.

It's a loser strategy being advanced by a losing campaign.

6. Do you have a link?

My calculation has Clinton at +226, a similarly insurmountable lead considering future contests.

But if I could justify the 268, well, I'd rather use that number, of course!

8. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results reports 268.

[Her Sister]

9. 268 is now, but will change b/c 70 delegates not awarded from Wash State yet

so b/w 226 and 268?


Washington 101 delegates. 9 HRC 25 BS
Alaska 16 delegates. 3 HRC 13 BS
Hawaii 25 delegates 8 HRC 17 BS


The only one not complete seems to be Washington.

10. thank you.

[stopbush]

11. NYT tracking this am.

Could change if more delegates still need to be assigned.

[workinclasszero]

12. Hillary up 268

See ya Bernie

[jmowreader]

13. Yeah, that's about the size of it

Bernie counts:

Washington: 25 pledged
Alaska: 13 pledged
Hawaii: 17 pledged
Total: 55 pledged

Hillary counts:
Washington: 9 pledged
Alaska: 3 pledged
Hawaii: 8 pledged
Total: 20 pledged

From looking at the schedule, Bernie only really has two more "good days" ahead of him.

First is April 5, the Wisconsin primary. It's a primary, which hurts him; it's an open primary in a state without any large cities - Milwaukee is about as good as it gets, and Metro Milwaukee is only about a million-five - so that helps him. It's ALSO a state that reelected the slimeball Scott Walker as their governor, and he did okay in Michigan so there's that. My feeling: Probably a repeat of Michigan. There are 96 delegates available and Bernie will probably leave the state with 52 of them.

Then comes April 9, the Wyoming caucus. It's closed, but it is a caucus and it is in a state where even the Democrats are very far to the right - a constituency that, for some reason, has embraced Three-Bills. I think Bernie will take all the delegates from this one - which, considering there are only 18 of them to be had, ain't that much of a prize.

Then come two weeks Three-Bills wishes wouldn't ever arrive: April 19's New York closed primary, at which 291 delegates will be awarded, and April 26's Sorta-Super Tuesday, where 484 delegates will be awarded in four closed primaries (CT/DE/MD/PA) and one "hybrid" primary (RI). Between the six primaries Hillary should come out with around 500 to 600 delegates, Bernie with the rest.
