E) Pledged Delegate Magic Number: 1627
As there are 3253 pledged delegates in this contest, the candidate who earns at least 1627 pledged delegates can claim that he or she has won the majority of pledged delegates available.
Given the current pace of the nomination process, and the expected results in future contests, it is very likely that Senator Obama will break this magic number on May 20th during the Kentucky and Oregon contests.
If Senators Obama and Clinton were to split each contest from here on out, Senator Obama would have 1650 pledged delegates after May 20th, and thus he will be assured the most pledged delegates at the Democratic National Convention.
