The LA Times Delegate Calculator:

Hillary is about to once again talk about how her pending "landslide victory" -- I'm pretty sure that's the catch phrase they'll use to label it -- has once again "changed the game."

It's informative to use this calculator to show just how much it doesn't matter. Obama needs about one in five of the remaining superdelegates. If he completely tanks in *all* the rest of the primaries, he might need one in four of them. Losing just Kentucky and WV big hardly changes that ratio at all.

1. that was fun

I felt like a kid again playing with my slide rule-since I never could figure it out it was still cool to play with-just like that new toy

2. If Clinton matches her best result (Arkansas) in every remaining state...

...all she has to do is get 60% of the remeining superdelegates and the nomination is hers. She can still win this thing :sarcasm:
