273 Down to ??? How many will Barack need after today.
By admin. Filed in 2008 election, Barack Obama |
Last Tuesday, Barack Obama started the day facing 273 delegates needed to win the Democratic Nomination. How many more will he need after today? Hillary is expected to overwhelming win West Virginia’s primary today, but Barack will undoubtedly pick up a few of their 28 delegates that are up for grabs today. That, in addition to the possibility of more Super Delegates, will bring him even closer.
As I write this, he needs 146. That means he’s picked up almost 130 in a week. How much lower will this get today? At this rate, he’ll finish the race next week. Think he’ll keep up the pace, or will the remaining Super Ds keep the “excitement” up until the beginning of June, as some are predicting?
Thoughts?
