No, that's not early reporting from Texas and Ohio. That's just a number I plugged into the Slate delegate calculator (http://www.slate.com/features/delegatecounter/). If Clinton gets 57% of the popular vote in all 16 remaining primaries, including today's... she still loses.*
She needs 58%. Lots of them, actually. If she gets 60% in Ohio and 57% in all the rest, she loses.
Every Clinton victory that is under +16 is essentially a step backward. Frankly, I don't see how she can pull this off.
* She loses the pledged delegate count. But if you think superdelegates, MI, or FL will overturn the rest of the country, you're dreaming.
