The Democratic Math

Ok, taking a look at the numbers, this is what we see. The new magic number, following the DNC Bylaws Committee decision yesterday is 2,118 need to clinch the Democratic nominations. Assuming that the Puerto Rico split is 34-14 in favor of Clinton, here is what the current math likely looks like.

Barrack Obama: 2069 (1738.5 Pledged, 330.5 Super)

Hillary Clinton: 1912 (1622.5 Pledged, 290 Super)

That puts Obama just 49 delegates from clinching the Democratic nomination. Montana has 24 delegates and South Dakota has 23. Even if they divide those in half, which i snot expected because Obama is expected to win Montana and the last poll had him ahead in South Dakota, he would need somewhere between 25 and 30 Supers Delegates to declare buy Tuesday to claim the nomination.

That’s the best we can do with fuzzy math right now.
