As everybody knows either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama will need the help of the superdelegates to put them over the top (actually Obama can still get to 2,025 if he wins 84% of the remaining pledges delegates. No such path exists for Clinton)

If the last six contest go down like this then how will the super delegates need to break for either Clinton or Obama to reach 2,025.

Clinton wins West Virginia 69% to 31%

Clinton wins Kentucky 66% to 34%

Obama wins Oregon 56% to 44%

Obama wins Montana 53% to 47%

Obama wins South Dakota 56% to 44%

Clinton wins Puerto Rico 60% to 40%

These results seem resonable based on recent polls.

If the last six contests turn out like this then Barack Obama will need…32% of the remaining superdelegates to put him over the edge to 2,025. Just 32%…Hillary Clinton on the other hand will need…80% of the remaining superdelgates to get her to 2,025…A tall tall order.
