Democratic Race so far.

So far the delegate count, per CNN is this: Obama - 1727, Clinton - 1589 as of today. That is a 138 delegate for the front runner with nine contests remaining. I agree with everyone else as this will be fought to the bitter end.

With te recent incidents regarding Rev. Wright in the past two weeks, it has done considerable damage to Obama grabbing the nomination and as for the next to states this is how I think it will play out. Indiana = 60/40 Clinton, N. Carolina = 50/50 tie. That would be another 14 delegates going toward Clinton cutting the lead to 124 with seven primaries left. Both would have to rely on the superdelegates to put them over the top as Florida and Michigan do not count. Had those two states counted Hillary would have already had this process sewn up by now.

The magic number when the primaries are finished would be for Obama to reach 1900 by 03 Jun 08 and Hillary to do her best to get to 1800 or better and finish strong. From there it'll be fought out on the convention floor the better man (or woman) winning.

Whoever wins though, that person will be terribly bruised for the n general election in November.

All comments are greatly appreciated.
