Latest Democrat Delegate Counts

And in alphabetical order!

ABC: Obama 1,634, Clinton 1,498; (Obama +136)

AP: Obama 1,639, Clinton 1,503; (Obama +136)

CNN: Obama 1,629, Clinton 1,486; (Obama +143)

CBS: Obama 1,633, Clinton 1,494; (Obama +139)

NBC: Obama 1,641, Clinton 1,508; (Obama +133)

NY Times: Obama 1,631.5, Clinton 1,473.5; (Obama +158)

Wash Post: Obama 1639, Clinton 1503; (Obama +136)

So the average lead for Obama is 140.

And with Michigan and Florida officially out, how hard is the math for Hillary at this point?

You don’t even want to know.

UPDATE:
Okay, I actually thought I’d do some quick math here to show some realities.

Remaining superdelegates: 243
Remaining pledged delegates: 566
Total: 809

To overtake Barack, Hill would have to take 545 of the remaining. That’s 67%. Anybody think that’s even close to being likely?

Hillary. Of course she doesn’t live on the same planet as the rest of us so maybe she’s right.

The math doesn’t work in Obama’s favor either…….it’s quite a pickle. I’d rather bet on the O than the C though.

I think its important to point out it doesn’t hurt the party for Clinton to stay in the race. It hurts the party when she hurts the probable candidate of Obama. If she hurts Obama nationally against McCain, then what good does it do?

When does her chances of winning become so slim that it is ludicrous for her to stay in the race? When only diehard supporters of Hillary are convinced she should stay in?

I think that even though Obama is not “surging” right now, rather Hill is tanking and going down slowly as the super delegates move to Obama’s side - and the sniper fire thing, and Bill’s bringing up the sniper fire again; combine all that with Obama closing the gap in PA and maintaining a double digit lead in NC.
