  • Is Barack Obama the clear front-runner?

    According to Chuck Todd of MSNBC, Hillary Clinton needs to win 55% of all the remaining pledge (elected) delegates to catch up to Obama's pledge delegate total. Assuming Obama will win at least some of the remaining primaries, Hillary Clinton would have to win by a margin of 60-40 in states she hopes to win in order to tie Obama in pledge delegates. (Chuck Todd's comments begin at around the 1:50 mark of the video clip below.)

    Here is Howard Fineman discussing the Clinton strategy in light of this delegate math.
