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.

:headbang:

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
