Obama has cut Hillary's lead among super-delegates since the PA primary, but I cannot recall the net difference in total delegates from pre-PA to now.

Anyone have any idea?

1. 154 Insurmountable Pledged Delegate lead

She can't catch him, and that is the number that matters.

I'm not sure, I think she only got 10 more delegates in PA.

2. It seems like Hillary netted about 10 more pledged delegates in PA but Obama has netted 4 more super
delegates since PA so the overall net since the PA primary seems to be about +6 for Hillary (and falling due to Obama picking up super delegates at a faster pace than her).

Does that seem about right?

3. yeah it does...and the funny thing is
that was supposed to be a "game changer" a huge win for her, the "tide is turning"...the SD's were unphased!

They know the pledged delegate lead is insurmountable, and that her win, really made things worse. She needed to have a blowout to make the rest of the primaries matter for her campaign.

4. I found a website confirming the superdelegate tally as of 4/20 (Hillary +25) and as of 4/27

(Hillary +22) plus Obama has gained another since then so it'll be down to Hillary +21 tomorrow:

6. Wrong.
It is NOT a winner takes all. Its a misconception bred by pritor contests being over before PR and consequently leading to the presumptive nominee being given all the delegates from there.
