U need 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination. Right now Hillary has 823 and Obama has 741.

I am with Obama and really think he can pull it out. Wish I could go to his rally tommorrow but got a midterm :(

Key states usually refer to early states (ones that have primar/caucus early), big states (Ones with large delegates, New York California etc.) and swing states (states that change parties year to year, Florida, Ohio, etc.)

Every state has a primary or caucus

naaima why do you care so much about the american election? its just means that there will be more killing, more dieases and more war against muslims in around the world. america is the shaydhaan on earth, allah send them so he can test his people. but ever since America became the world super power, the gap between rich and poor widened, there is more unemployed and more anarchy and not to mention, the breach of human rights and of viewing the world from a western perspective, with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously. do i need to go on more?!

surrender what are you talking about?, the questions are homework questions and are to be answered orally in class nothing else..

helwa ja ja, det har man lov til engang imellem ikke :)
