if we count them here that makes it HRC 1134, BS 499 or a lead of 635 delegates.

Sanders is further behind in pledged delegates (195) and it's only March 8. In 2008 the race was tighter, longer. Furthermore in the next few group primaries, the big states look to be going strong for Clinton. And that's not even considering the supers. With them she is half way to the nomination.

If things proceed with no big surprises, Sanders may start considering his position after March 15.
