So Take A Look At Me Now

As Obama likes to say, we are not the Red States or the Blue States; we are the United States. That being said, the map is sure starting to look like the United States... united behind Obama.

After winning 21 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands, Obama surely seems to be on his way to making the claim that he is the candidate wanted by more people in more states. Hillary has outright won 10 states and the American Samoa (which, help me out, is where again?). New Mexico has still not been called, though it looks to go in her favor, putting her total at 11; 13 if you include Florida and Michigan.

Either way, only 16 states remain. Obama needs just 5 more wins to have won the most states (for whatever that's worth). Hillary would need to win all but 3 of the remaining contests to make such a claim. Although the number of states a candidate wins is ultimately irrelevant, it will be quite difficult to pretend it's entirely irrelevant if this map keeps getting bluer.
