2,025 delegates are needed to win the Democratic nomination.

 

Republicans:

John McCain (723 delegates.. has won: Washington, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, New York, Connecticut, Deleware, New Jersey, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, California and Arizona.)

According to those numbers, Huckabee needs 974 more delegates, while McCain only needs 468. That's more than double. Is there any chance for him to win?

Sweet, Damkira. Does that include the pledged superdelegates?

No, and he's trying to call out the numbers in Washington State. Stay tuned ...

 It does. It also includes unpledged delegates on the Republican side.

isn't Huck the one wants to turn your commandments to that of the bible or something? And McCain wants you to stay in iraq for 100 years?

Good luck, neighbour.

Obama is ahead in pledged delegates now but still trailing in superD's.

 McCain didn't say "Let's have a 100 year COOL." He said as long as our soliders as NOT BEING HARMED or in conflict/war, he doesn't mind a mild troop presence there like in EVERY COUNTRY THE U.S. HAS HAD A PRESENCE IN, EVER (see: Japan, Germany, etc.) Don't just repeat catch phrases you hear second-hand, especially the ones Hillbot regurgigates in the same speech she makes at every event.

I have the worrying feeling that the Super delegates are going to give Hillary the Nomination even if she's losing

Why do I keep hearing about Obama winning states all the time, and how everyone hates Clinton, but she's is still in the lead?

She has won in the bigger states so far. Regarding everyone hating her, it's obviously not the case (at least not outside the internet :P).
