20. You need to do some more reading...here ya' go
http://slate.com/id/2185278 /
If she averaged a 10-point win in every state going forward (including tonight's festivities), and if Obama pulls even with her in the superdelegate count this week, she would need to attract 57 more superdelegates than Obama by the convention. Considering she has a net loss of superdelegates over the last few weeks, that's going to take an even bigger turnaround than a comeback at the polls.
