Slate's Delegate Calculator Shows Daunting Clinton Task Ahead.

Great use of web HERE.

Using sliders, user can see pledged delegate counts that would result from different Democratic primary election results in all of the remaining primary states.

Even with a highly unlikely scenario, Obama still ends up with more pledged delegates. The scenario and results:
  • Clinton beats Obama by 60% to 40% in 4 primaries Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Puerto Rico AND by 54% to 46% in ALL of the other primaries.
  • Clinton ends up with 1,599 pledged delegates, but Obama STILL has more pledged delegates at 1,610.
  • Both are short of the 2,025 delegates needed--that's where super delegates would come into play.
