http://bigstory.ap.org/article/403a40eb00ee467a87e84b0c4800712b/superdelegates-put-clinton-path-clinch-califNEW YORK (AP) Hillary Clinton can lose every remaining primary in the coming weeks and still clinch the nomination.
With Clinton's double-digit win in New York and more than two dozen new superdelegates joining her camp, rival Bernie Sanders now faces a far steeper path.
Before New York's contest, Sanders needed to win 68 percent of remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates to catch Clinton.
Now to capture the nomination, Sanders must win 73 percent. That means that Clinton can lose all remaining contests and still win. The campaign shifts to primaries Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware...If Clinton does as well as expected in next week's primaries, she's on track to clinch the nomination with help from superdelegates, the party insiders who can back either candidate, on June 7.
Based on primaries and caucuses alone, the latest AP delegate count, including New York, shows that Clinton leads by 1,428 to 1,151.
Including superdelegates, the race stands at 1,930 to 1,189, for Clinton. She needs just 27 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates to reach the magic number, 2,383....
