10 Clinton states won
1 still too-close-to-call (New Mexico)
pledged (voter-elected) delegates:
1,009 Obama
944 Clinton
(ABC News puts it at 951 Obama, 904 Clinton)
total votes cast:
8,228,000 Obama
8,028,000 Clinton
oh, and over the same bunch of states voting, Dems turn-out is almost 50% higher than the Repubs so far.
19.2 million total Dems have showed up at the polls

Obama has got to bury her NOW — so that by the time of Texas/Ohio in 3 weeks she’s just so Moed under. This could happen, and has to happen for the party, the nation, and ultimately the world.
Think of this last 24 hour cycle — she loses two states + the Virgin Islands by more than 2-to-1, loses by double-digits in New Orleans / LA the site of one of Bush’s biggest glaring blunders, THEN fires her campaign manager, then loses another all-white state with Maine by 15 points.
And then we have another Obama hat-trick coming Tuesday.
This is some kind of a voter & press wave that her campaign is going to have to fight against for 3 frickin weeks (before TX & OH). She’s gonna need to pull out whatever heavy weaponry (dirty tricks) they’ve got cuz I just don’t see how you reverse this tide.
