Obama Campaign: "We Are Less Than 300 Delegates From Securing Nomination"
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, on a conference call with reporters just now, shares the campaign's official delegate count in the wake of last night's results.
The campaign estimates that her net will be either 10 or 12 pledged dels.
Granting her 12, Plouffe says, Obama's delegate lead has dropped from 171 to 159.
There are 408 pledged dels remaining to be allocated in upcoming contests -- which means that time is running out, to put it mildly, for Hillary to make up her delegate deficit.
Bottom line: Factoring in super dels and pledged dels, Plouffe maintains, "we are less than 300 delegates from securing the nomination."
