Democratic Number Crunching:
Some stats I just conjured up, with seven states not yet having had their primary. Basically, I'm looking at the states which each candidate won, based on how they voted during the past two presidential elections, and then looked at the cumulative number of votes in the electoral college which each state represents.

Clinton: 7
Obama: 10
