Obama Camp: Using popular vote metric just ain’t gonna work
Going forward, the battle over the significance of the popular vote could be the deciding factor in determining the Democratic nominee. That’s because, at this point in time, it appears all but impossible for Clinton to pull out a pledged delegate win. As Plouffe estimated, Obama’s margin among pledged delegates was decreased from 171 to 159 following his loss in Pennsylvania. But the Illinois Democrat now stood “less than 300 delegates” - pledged or super - “away from securing the nomination,” and Clinton “would need to win 70 percent of all the remaining delegates to secure the lead.”
