Report: “Nearly Impossible” for Clinton to Overtake Obama’s Delegate Lead

HeadlineMar 05, 2008

For Democrats, the focus on the delegate count intensifies. Despite Clinton’s victories on Tuesday, Obama maintains a significant lead in delegates. The Washington Post reports that it is “nearly impossible” for Clinton to secure more pledged delegates than Obama before the convention. Clinton would need to win more than 60 percent of the vote in each of the dozen contests remaining between now and June 7. However, Clinton could still win the nomination by securing enough superdelegates. In another potential setback to Clinton, the Dallas Morning News reports Obama might emerge as the winner in the pledged delegate race in Texas, even though Clinton won the popular vote.
