State of the race

Links to articles assessing Hillary's chances of catching Obama in either the popular vote (low) or delegates (even lower) and a website tracking the superdelegate tallies (with Obama now within 35 delegates of Hillary). Note that he now has more governors and U.S. Senators backing him, and only two fewer U.S. Representatives. Hillary's shrinking superdelegate lead is entirely composed of Democratic National Committee members.

There are 566 delegates left to be allocated in the remaining ten contests. If Obama simply won 50% of those, he'd only need around a third (124) of the remaining 337 uncommitted superdelegates to secure the nomination.

But hey, the GOP and the media (both the reporters and the ad revenue-hungry networks they serve) are enjoying the mudslinging, so let's keep it going, by all means!

Not.
