Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this is really cool, but CNN.com has this Delegate Counter Game where you can assign hypothetical outcomes to all of the delegates from the remaining states (and territories) in the Presidential Primary. Here's the link in case you're interested:

Unless the superdelegates take a huge swing over toward the Clinton camp, it looks mathematically almost impossible for her to pull off a win at this point. Even if Hillary wins every remaining state by a 10-point margin and takes all of Puerto Rico (which is winner-take-all) AND even if she wins the remaining superdelegates by 55-45, she'll still be at least five delegates behind Barack Obama.
I can see why people would prefer Hillary over Barack, but her decision to stay in the race at this point is only serving to further damage the Democratic party and provide more fuel for the "Straight Talk Express." At this point, if the Democrats lose the general election in the fall, I really think it'll be a result of their own doing. We'll just have to wait and see though.
