Since Barack Obama’s wins this week in the District of Columbia and the states Virginia and Maryland, Hillary Clinton lags behind in the polls.  It is estimated that Barack Obama has 1,215 delegates, while Hillary Clinton’s delegates come to 1,190.  Earlier, Hillary Clinton was leading the polls. in these polls the superdelegates- democratic party leaders and official entitled to private votes- were always counted in.

The almost 800 superdelegates were clearly in favor of Hillary and ensured her the lead so far, but now she lost the leading position to Obama even with the superdelegates’ votes counted in.

To receive the Democratic nomination for the ultimate battle against the Republican nominee, a Democratic candidate has to reach 2,025  delegates. The Democratic’s  struggle is not over yet- in fact it is more exciting than ever before. Although Hillary has had quite a rough weekend- her campaign manager was fired and she lost against Barack Obama in three states- she continues the campaign energetic as always.
