Democratic Delegate Counter

Slate has an amazing little tool on their website to keep track of delegate counts for upcoming elections.

The link is here:
Slate's Delegate Calculator

Basically Hillary has to win all 16 upcoming primaries by an average of 8 points per state in order for her to beat Obama.

Don't think that's possible? Well either do most people following the primaries which is why they're saying unless Hillary pulls out outstandingly large wins tonight in Texas/Ohio she might as well drop out to save face and to help the party against McCain.

Play with the calculator and try to figure out any plausible way for Hillary to win the election. Obviously as we start seeing the polls come in today you can preset those numbers. It's virtually impossible for her to win unless she blows Obama out of the water tonight.

Every article I'm reading off Drudge right now is basically saying after last night Hillary is a huge long shot. She didn't win by the margins she needed to stay competitive. I have a feeling the media will still rally behind her though. They have an interest in keeping this primary between Hillary/Obama going.
