John McCain’s advisers had hoped that McCain would win enough delegates in today’s race to put him over the top and secure the 1,191 delegates necessary for the Republican nomination. But even if McCain wins all of them — there are 256 Republican delegates at stake in today’s contests — he will not have enough to claim the nomination, according to tallies by The New York Times.
Nonetheless, The Associated Press has conducted a survey of superdelegates, which would give McCain an additional 102 unpledged delegates. If those are included in today’s count, McCain might have enough if he wins handily today.
