Just some Stats, that the SD's seemed to ignore.
35.6 million people have voted
The 37 primary states account for 97% of the vote.
The 13 caucus states account for 3% of the vote.
Bottom line: Clintons lead is from 34.5 million voters (97%) in Primaries. Obamas lead is from 1.1 million voters (3%) in caucuses
Out of the 50 state elections so far, Clinton has won 20 primaries and Obama has won 17. In comparison, Obama has dominated the Caucus contests by winning 12 of 13, plus the Texas caucus. 42% of his wins are caucus states.
...After 50 election contests to date, Obama leads Clinton by 113 pledged delegates. 97.4% of the difference 110 delegates is directly attributable to lopsided victories in caucus contests.
...In the 37 primaries, Hillary Clinton is up 500,000 votes (counting Florida and Michigan and giving Barack Obama 75% of the votes of Michigan's uncommitted delegates.) This give her a 67 delegate lead in the primaries. In the 13 caucus states, Obama is up 300,000 votes which has resulted in a 205 delegate lead
The electoral map:
21 of Obamas 29 states won are either caucus states or Red states including 80% of the deepest Red that have not voted Democratic since 1964 to 1976. With a win in SD and MT, he will finish with 230 Electoral Votes 121 of those from Red states.
...Notably, since Obama is the Democratic nominee, he will start the race for the Presidency with
109 Electoral Votes from blue or purple states.
Thats 40% of what hell need to win in November.
...In contrast, only one of Clintons 20 states won plus Puerto Rico is not part of the GE, and only 26% of her total Electoral Votes are from Red states.
...Further,
227 of Clintons 308 EV are from blue and purple states meaning that she would have started the Presidential race having won states that account for 84% of the EV needed to win the Whitehouse.
