Only 17 pledged delegates to go for majority of PDs; 120.5 total delegates to reach 2025

Wow - did you realize that yesterday "The Mustache of Justice" endorsed Obama?

Yesterday, Obama secured the support of 4 superdelegates (Reps. Henry Waxman, Jim McDermott and Howard Berman and Larry Cohen (CWA DNC)), 1 pledged delegate in North Carolina (because of updated vote tallies in the state) and 7 pledged delegates that had previously supported John Edwards. That means that the number for Obama to secure a majority of pledged delegates has gone down from 25 to 17. And the number Obama needs to secure the nomination� http://www.barackobama.com/index.php

be able to win it with just KY delegates and Oregon delegates will put him well over?
