April 21 (Bloomberg) -- To overtake Barack Obama in the nationwide popular vote, Hillary Clinton needs a bigger win in tomorrow's Pennsylvania primary than she has had in any major contest so far. And that's just for starters.

After more than 40 Democratic primaries and caucuses, Obama, the Illinois senator, leads Clinton by more than 800,000 votes. Even if the New York senator wins by more than 20 percentage points tomorrow -- a landslide few experts expect -- she would still have a hard time catching him.

Clinton needs ``blowout numbers,'' says Peter Fenn, a Democratic consultant who isn't affiliated with either campaign. ``The wheels would have to come off the Obama bus, and the engine would have to blow.''

A popular-vote victory is vital to Clinton's chances because she is likely to end the primaries still trailing Obama, 46, in the race for delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

According to an unofficial tally by the Associated Press, Obama currently leads by a margin of 1,645 to 1,504 among pledged delegates and those superdelegates -- elected and party officials who get an automatic vote on the nomination -- who have indicated a preference. It will take 2,025 delegates to win the nomination.

2. Her claim to popular vote victory will likely rest on counting Florida and some sort of

allocation of Michigan to Obama.

3. Clnton needed revotes ASAP...

she can have all the Mich. and Fla. delegates now. She needed the momenum that she would have got from revotes.

Obama got some luck. But was it luck?

4. Her own campaign said she'd win PA by 20 points. If she gets anything less...

...she's toast.

NGU.

5. Sounds like

Somebody didn't take the yellow pantsuit acid tabs - someone's obviously not part of the high priestess' goalpost moving acid trip.

If this gets out there could be trouble in Clintonia!

6. She can't pay the movers anymore.

7. Yeah, truly. I wonder how many more small businesses have been stiffed so far.

Obama just needs 211 more pledged delegates to capture the majority of them. At that point she's really toast. He'll likely get at least a third of those Tuesday. The SDs will be coming on board, elbowing each other aside to be first. :dem:
