and cut Clinton's lead in pledged delegates from +295 to +288.

Have I got that about right?

Sid

[Renew Deal]

1. More importantly, she is under 200 delegates from winning it all.

Super-Delegates could end this thing this week.

[LongTomH]

2. With 14 states to go!

[Garrett78]

18. 9 states.

Plus Guam, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Washington DC.

FYI: Gandhi never said "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

[YouDig]

3. So if he does that well in the next 42 states, he wins the nomination.

4. LOL...

5. He needs 609 of the remaining 933 pledged delegates to get him to 2026 delegates

[NWCorona]

11. Yes more delegates would be nice but this was about so much more. nt

[SidDithers]

12. Greenpapers just flipped one delegate in the At-Large category...

So they've got the allocation at 44-39.

Net gain of 5 for Bernie.

21. I didn't realize proportional delegates had such a strong effect.

Sanders' path just got that much harder. Even as he won.

[LuvLoogie]

22. Yes. The old target numbers are from the start of

the primaries. The new is what they are now. Each primary, available delegates is reduced and makes it that much harder to make up ground if you've missed your target for that primary.

It takes 2026 pledged delegates to achieve a 50% plus 1 majority. Hillary is 325 pledged elegates away from that. Bernie is 609 pledged delegates away. There are 933 pledged delegates left available.

[Codeine]

14. Sid being Sid, typical. Another hill fan stating basic mathematical fact

in a coherent and organized fashion.

The nerve of that man!

[MADem]

17. With the unpledged delegates, it's a tie, pretty much.

He still has no path.

[Number23]

19. But she needs to drop out and her supporters put on their bibs because it's CROW EETIN' time, baby!1

That five delegates has now made ALLL the difference!111one
