Slate Calculates How Well-Done Hillary's Goose is Cooked

Slate’s Delegate Calculator (h/t to Jon Alter at Newsweek) tells the tale: no matter how well Hillary Clinton does tonight, her goose is cooked. She has to ring up a 58% total in ALL the remaining primaries just to get a non-super delegate lead (and even then, she’d need 419 superdelegates to go over the top).

As Alter puts it:

For all of those who have been trashing me for
saying this thing is over, please feel free to do your
own math. Give Hillary 75 percent in Kentucky and
Indiana. Give her a blowout in Oregon. You will still
have a hard time getting her through the process
with a pledged-delegate lead.

Try the Slate Calculator yourself. If it doesn’t satisfy your political inner junkie, it will at least add to your procrastination skills. It will also help to answer the eight questions Dan Balz poses about today’s primaries.
