A combination of primary/caucus delegate successes(187), additional superdelegate endoursements (11), and realignment of the California Delegate distribution (2) have netted Senator Obama with a total of 200 delegates this week, reducing the number of delegates he needs for nomination from 653 to 453. An additional Mississippi (40).
Even with Clinton's victory in RI and Ohio Obama has netted a +5 in delegates from a week ago. Missisppi should add to that lead.
Senator Obama needs 46% of all the remaining pledged delegates and undeclared super delegates to get the nomination.
Senator maintains a lead of delegates by 101.
