Yesterday, Obama secured the support of 4 superdelegates (Reps. Henry Wexler, 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 is 121.5.
 
The Math
 
Total Pledged Delegates: 3,253

 

Pledged Delegates needed for a majority of pledged delegates: 1,627

 

Total delegates needed for nomination: 2,025

 
Edwards Pledged Delegates who are now Obama Delegates:7

 

Obama Pledged Delegates: 1,603

Obama Super Delegates: 293.5

Obama Total Delegates: 1,903.5
 
Delegates Obama needs for a majority of pledged delegates: 17

 

Obama need to secure the Democratic nomination: 121.5
