Obama's Superdelegate Magic Number: 89

Wed Apr 23, 2008 at 06:23:35 AM PDT

As the night wore on and I thought through Senator Clinton's super delegate strategy, I got to thinking: Just how many super delegates would she need to erase Obama's delegate lead?  So, hitting Dem Con Watch, I did a little subtracting and dividing and came up with an interesting number:

As of today, Barack Obama needs just 89 more super delegates to seal up the nomination.

Get your calculators and follow the math with me, this will be fun.

I think it's fairly safe to call the race right now.  Barring a Muskie/Hart moment, John Kerry wins the nomination.

Not sure if Kos'll throw one up between now and Saturday, but today seems as good a day as any to reset the scorecard.

Fun With Google

The idea of the week is Googling "miserable failure", this a couple months after the fun of Googling "weapons of mass destruction".  On a whim, I decided to Google some other words and phrases.
