So is Obama's magic number down to **29** now?

[kay1864]

According to today's electoral-vote.com, after the MT and SD primaries, Obama will need 31 superdelegates to make it to 2118. But then I read that he got two more supers this morning.

Did I miss any others?

Only two today? Obama, you're slipping! :rofl:




Clinton's magic number is 191, just in case anyone's wondering

4. Yep, I'd heard about the "17" awhile back

Too bad they won't declare before Tuesday, so that MT and SD could put him over the top, instead of the supers.

2. Ickes just said that she should be at 150 delegates needed before Wednesday

They consider a 150 delegate deficit a TIE and not significant!

They've been drinking strange water.

5. Hillary herself called that only "a slight lead"

Whereas in HillaryLand, her own <1% "lead" in popular votes (by her fuzzy math) is not at all "slight"...

"I will lead in the popular vote; he will maintain a slight lead in the delegates," she said at a rally in San Juan, Puerto Rico

3. Three so far, one per hour...

Sometimes DCW even scoops DU on endorsements!

6. Obviously depends on how many delegates he wins tomorrow

Current number: need 43. Tomorrow, there are 31 at stake. If he wins 17 of them (9-7 and 8-7) he would need 26 more, not counting whatever other SDs he captures between now and then.

In fairness, if HRC keeps it close and it goes 8-8, 8-7, in her favor, then she'll only need 184.5 more. And Obama would still need 28.
