487 delegates (pledged and unpledged) remaining. Hillary needs 341.

A little math to see the percentage Hillary would need to get of the remaining delegates.

341 divided by 487 = 70%

Not a chance in hell that is going to happen.

Hillary, enough already.

Is that including or excluding Florida and Michigan?

The number crunch includes Florida and Michigan. Check out the article; it goes into things quite extensively.

Down to 163....

Chicago, IL – Today, California DNC Member and superdelegate Ed Espinoza endorsed Barack Obama, citing his judgment, character, and ability to unite our country for change.

Espinoza is the 268th superdelegate to endorse Barack Obama. Obama is 163 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.
