38. Obama leads by 161 pledged delegates...
that's a pretty wide margin

neither of them is going to get to the magic 2025 without superdelegates
if Hillary picks up every single delegate left she will still need 185 superdelegates
if Obama picks up every single delegate left he will still need 45 superdelegates

It's extremely unlikely that the remaining votes will go entirely to either candidate.
Just to pull even with Obama, Hillary will need to win the rest of the contests 61% / 39% or better.
