408 Pledged 297 Super Delegates |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 03:05 PM by Jake3463
The Math
Hillary needs 436 61% remaining
Obama needs 299 42% Remaining
Assuming current polls best i.e most favorable polls for her case scenario for Hillary
Hillary picks up 8 delegates (12 point win) from Indiana and Obama picks up 5 for NC (6 point win)
Anything less than 60% in either state is a defeat for Hillary.
After next Tuesday there will be 217 pledged delegates remaining.
Clinton 1684 Needs 341 66% remaining
Obama 1819 Needs 206 needs 40% remaining
Remaining 514
After May 6 anything less than a 66% or 34% margin of Victory is a defeat for Clinton. Anything above 40% is a victory for Obama.

3. Of course, the current scenario that's being peddled is Hillary's "big comeback" |
|
based on "blowout victories" in KY and WV. Fact is, she'll have to pull your 66% in ALL the remaining states, not just those two.
Though your methodology is more scientific, it dovetails perfectly into mine:
41-point or more margin of victory = blowout for Hillary
36 - 40 points = victory for Hillary
30 - 35 points = good, but not good enough for Hillary
11 – 29 points = wash for Hillary
5 - 10 points = useless for Hillary
1 - 4 points = concession speech for Hillary
If Obama wins NC and gets 40% of IN, it will be the official beginning of the end.

5. thanks but the Hillary campaign has already moved beyond the "sham maths" |
|
and is focusing on harassing the SDs like a candy-wantin' 4 year old to see if they give in the 475,912th time they beg.

7. The math is changing by the hour |
|
After days and days of nothing, 4 supers have endorsed Obama within the last 2 days (and I think I just heard another one, not sure if it's included on DemConWatch yet)
If Obama gets 91 more Superdelegate endorsements, he can clinch with 50% in the remaining primaries
