Not 100% sure how the delegates are awarded, but if they're based on percentage of the vote, I'm coming up with Hillary needing to average a 30-point victory the rest of the way. Unless someone can prove that Obama is Hitler reincarnated, Hillary's done.

Well kinda, but not the overall vote of the state. Each district has 2-4 delegates, and they are assigned proportionally based on the vote in that district.

If its a 2 delegate district, unless one candidate has a huge lead, its going to be split 1-1.

It is possible for one candidate to win the popular vote, but to end up with less delegates.

There are variations in how each state awards them. Broadly speaking, each delegate district within each state awards delegates based on results within the district. And the state goes on to award 'at large' delegates based on the overall statewide percentage of votes. And, what's really cool is this: in each delegate district in the remaining contests, any candidate that reaches 15% gets an automatic delegate for being viable.
