http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/280304-clinton-less-than-100-delegates-from-nominationAs of early Wednesday, The Associated Press awarded Clinton 29 delegates to Sanders's 27 in Kentucky with 3 remaining to be allocated. And in Oregon, the AP gave Clinton 30 delegates to Sanders's 29 with another 15 remaining.
That puts Clinton at 1,767 pledged delegates to Sanders's 1,488--a gap of 279 with just a handful of contests to go, according to the AP.
Neither candidate is likely to reach the threshold of 2,383 delegates without the help of superdelegates, party leaders given a vote on the convention floor. Clinton leads overwhelmingly there despite Sanders's pleas that they should support him instead. Her superdelegate success swells her delegate count to 2,291, just 92 delegates short.
Estimates are that she will need 89 to 92 more delegates. There are 79 in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands before we even get to June 7 and California!! Hillary could easily be less than 50 delegates away with almost 800 available in CA and NJ!

(24,396 posts)2 or 3 delegates is a sign that Team Hillary is in panic mode. They really believe the crap being fed them by Mr Grumpy Riot Inciter. They really believe the race is close. They really believe Sanders will end up with more pledged delegates. If Sanders said the moon was made of green cheese they'd believe that, too.

(2,542 posts)As if the DNC has nothing better to do than keep track of where his supporters are staying, as some kind of plot to take their stuff. What a (bad) joke.
