According to CNN, 2025 are needed to win. Obama has 1862 right now, so he needs 163 more. Right now there are 217 more delegates up for grabs, so Obama needs about 76% of the remaining delegates to secure the nomination. To put things in perspective, Obama got 53.5% of the votes last Tuesday. This is small to the 44 point lead Hillary has in WV according to the latest polls from the American Research Group ( 66 to 23).

Hillary would need somewhere around 330 of them, meaning even if every uncommitted superdelegate swung her way, she'd still need to win all the remaining primaries by 60/40. Maybe 65/35. Some crazy margin anyway, one she won't get.

While is it mathematically impossible to Hillary to win, it is very possible to make it mathematically impossible for Obama to win. Yet the media has decided to report Obama has won for attention and profit$:

I don't like Hillary, but I hate the journalistic integrity the media sacrifices just to get attention. I really wish they would tell the whole story of whats going on and let us decide who to vote for. It is very easy to let this slide right now because it is Hillary and Obama, but I'm sure many of you were pretty upset when the media had this sort of attitude towards Ron Paul.
If it goes to the DNC, the nominee will be decided at the DNC behind closed doors by the delegates. And behind closed doors is what Hillary does best. Hillary is much better at power, corruption, connections, and intimidation than Obama is. I say Obama has a lot of work to do, even Obama admits that there is a lot of work to do and that for the remaining states, the delegates will be split some what evenly:

I believe Hillary knows what she's doing by staying in the race. Her desire for power rivals any NeoCon, many even consider her a NeoCon.
