Don't look for Obama to get 140+ super delegates yet....
he is currently about 140 delegates short. ky+or = 103 delegates , i think 45 for obama is conservative. those 45 will give him the majority of pledged, which will kick in the pelosi delegates (at least 6, but i suspect alot more). so he will need another 85 or so additional supers to get there before june. you are right, it might not happen.Posted at May 14, 2008 11:33 AM in response to Oregon vs Kentucky
