According to RealClearPolitics.com, Barack Obama now has 1865 delegates. This is only 160 delegates short of his total needed for victory.
Magic Number: 160
It may be interesting to note that there may come a point when there aren’t enough delegates left for Hillary Clinton to win under any circumstances. She has 1697 delegates, 328 short of the total needed. Watch as the number of remaining delegates dwindles after May 20th. It may be mathematically impossible for her to win as super-delegates cast there vote and after West Virginia, Oregon and Kentucky (with 28, 51 and 52 delegates respectively for 131 total delegates) have voted.
