Chuck Todd says Obama has Super Delegate lead
I like Chuck Todd. I trust Chuck Todd. So when Chuck Todd tells me that Obama has taken the lead in Super Delegates I'll believe it:
The NBC NEWS delegate counts:
PLEDGED: Obama 1,590, Clinton 1,426
SUPERS: Obama 277, Clinton 276.5
TOTAL: Obama 1,867, Clinton 1,702.5
Obama leads in states won, popular vote, pledge delegates, super delegates, and every possible metric by which one can judge the Democratic race for president INCLUDING both speaking ability and knowledge of grammer.
So I'm pretty sure it's time for Hillary to shut the fuck up and go home.

I'm tempted to make a WWCTD bracelet. Because Chuck Todd is awesome.
Here is a really great profile of our man Chuck Todd
That is a great profile.
Clinton Presidential Critera #3,754:
You can't be President unless you win West Virgina:
"because it’s a fact: that Democrats don’t get elected president unless west Virginia votes for you. And everybody knows West Virginia has picked presidents pretty accurately over the last years.”
ASK CHUCK TODD!
There something you want to ask NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd? Here's your chance. There will be a question-and-answer session with Todd Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m. ET on Newsvine. You can submit your questions in advance here.
Here is a List of Democratic Primaries and the delegates awarded in each.
Note that West Virginia has 39 delegates.
Also, 274 delegates remaining. Obama needs 156 to get the nomination. Clinton needs 322.
So Obama only needs 57% of the remaining pledge delegates if he gets no more super delegates. Clinton needs 118% of the remaining pledge delegates if she gets no more super delegates.
Math.
that is some amazing math...
I'd like to find how many total delegates are left. I couldn't find that number.
