2024 on May 20th

"A senior Democrat strategist, familiar with discussions at the highest levels of the Obama camp, has revealed that Mr Obama is now confident of the support of around 120 of the remaining 260 undeclared superdelegates."

BO is currently 155 delegates away from 2024.

He will pickup at least 65 pledged delegates from the 3 primaries on and before May 20th.



He only needs 90 of the 120 SDs to commit before May 20th to reach 2024.

1. That's like 9 SDs a day. Can it be done?

3. If he has them and that's what they want to do
then I'd say it could be done.

4. I'd expect...
that after WV and KY that his momentum in SD will slow a bit (as baffling as it may be since everyone on earth knows and expects he is going to lose both by large margins) but predict he will pick up on the momentum after May 20th and seal the deal sometime just before June 3rd.

2. Wow, that is crazy.
Of course the Hillary camp will just argue that the real number is 2206.
