Obama Within 70 Delegates Of Clinching

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Pledged Delegates, Super Delegates!!!

Most sites seem to have a different number, but let’s look at several of them and see where we’re at in the race to 2,026.

Real Clear Politics
Obama – 1975, 51 to win
Clinton – 1775, 250 to win

Dem Con Watch
Obama – 1962, 64 to win
Clinton – 1780, 245 to win

CNN
Obama – 1962, 64 to win
Clinton – 1777, 248 to win

MSNBC
Obama – 1960, 66 to win
Clinton – 1783, 243 to win

Now, if you asked Hillary, she’d say that the real number is 2,210, not 2,026. We’ll find out on May 31st if the DNC’s rules committee will actually reverse their previous decision and count Michigan and Florida.

Currently, though, this is where the numbers stand.
