Clinton pledged delegate lead 1,100 - 778

It was a awesome night for the Clinton campaign. 5 wins on Super Tuesday 2 and plenty of pledged delegates added to her already formidable lead. 551 of the 691 pledged delegates have been allocated and thus far it’s 325 - 226 Clinton.

At this moment, per FiveThirtyEight’s pledged delegate tracker, it’s currently a +99 net gain for Clinton from her prior lead of +223. Tentatively, +322 lead for Clinton.

According to the tracker, there are still 140 delegates to be allocated.



Then Senator Obama largest lead in 2008 was 157 delegates. Clinton won several large states after he established this lead. She was never able to recover from this deficit. Her lead over Sanders is now more than twice as large as Obama ever had.

When the remaining delegates from yesterday are calculated, she should increase her current lead even further.
