'Twas the night before Oregon and Kentucky (?!) and all through DKos
Not a creature was stirring, not even a (wireless) mouse...
So, night owls, what does the math look like at the end of the day tomorrow? I'll attempt a preliminary sketch based on the estimates I'm able to amass and everyone can feel to update and correct me, as well as prognosticate how things will turn out tomorrow.
According to the Obama campaign website, he needs 110 more delegates to clinch the nomination (excluding Michigan and Florida I guess, but I'm going to consider those moot).
According to wanakee's diary, there's at least one more superdelegate coming on tomorrow, Iowa Democratic Chairman Scott Brennan. So that brings us to 109.
Now an estimate of tomorrow's results:
According to the "leaked" Obama campaign projections he should get 23 pledged delegates from Kentucky and 28 from Oregon, for a total of 51. Poblanoprojects 29 for Obama in Oregon, and NMLib has him picking up as few as 17. So I'll conservatively peg it at 45, leaving him with 64 to go.
He should pick up 40+ more in the remaining contests in Montana, S. Dakota, Puerto Rico.
The other thing to note is that tomorrow, the Pelosi Club superdelegates who have declared that they will be supporting the winner of the pledged delegates will come over to Obama.
So that's at least 7 more...
