Update to my Pledged Delegate analysis

In this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/110795734

I came up with a projection that put Hillary's pledged delegate count 108 short of what she'd need to outright capture the nomination without any superdelegates. We just had our first contest since then, so...

I said:
Wyoming: 14 pledged delegates available, she should take 4. 1099 to go.

She took seven of them. Now she's down to a 105-delegate deficit.

I would bet all of the dirty nasty thingsb said about the super delegates would resolve into begging. In other words it not be a path without getting lots of super delegates. It's probably over. I would expect more endorsements from super delegates to happen after the NY primary.

....was much closer at this stage and people weren't telling either candidate to leave the race.

BS has NO PATH to the nomination unless he wins well over 50% of every single remaining contest. And that's not happening unless something major transpires.
