Obama Picks Up Delegates in Two States Print E-mail

Click here to watch Dan Boylan and Howard Dicus break down the Indiana and North Carolina primaries on Sunrise on KGMB9.

Barack Obama picked up 95 delegates in Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday and is on pace to secure the 2,025 delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination for President. According to CBS News estimates, Obama needs only 181 more delegates.

There are 217 pledged delegates left (not including superdelegates) between May 13 and June 3. West Virginia (28), Kentucky (51), Oregon (52), Puerto Rico (55), Montana (16), and South Dakota (15) are left. However, all delegates are distributed proportionately in the contests meaning Obama would have to win by more than 84 percent overall. Very unlikely with how close this election has been.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is vowing to fight on and is asking for more cash following her razor-thin victory in Indiana. Even if Clinton won 100 percent of the remaining delegates, she would end up 120 delegates short. For her to remain viable, she needs to hold off Obama from reaching the 2,025 mark and fight for superdelegates and the reinstatement of Florida and Michigan.
