Hillary blew Barak Obama out in West Virginia hitting the target of 66% of the vote, which is a remarkable total.
But, Barak did win some delegates and that changes the math...
Hillary has 1,444 pledged delegates and 273 super delegates for a total of 1717 delegates. She now needs 307 of the remaining 432 delegates to win. That is 71% of the total.
Barak has 1,600 pledged delegates and 282 super delegates for a total of 1882 delegates. He now needs 142 of the remaining 432 delegates to win. That is 32.87% of the total.
You will notice that Hillary clobbered Barak in West Virginia and yet the bar becomes even higher for her going forward (from 66% to 71%). Every little drop in Obama's delegate bucket makes Hillary's odds worse, but all the votes are not yet counted.
Next up are Kentucky and Oregon.
