A count by MSNBC gave Obama 1,194 delegates to Clinton's 1,037 heading into Tuesday's showdowns, a significant lead but well short of the 2,025 needed to win the nomination.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe released a memo questioning Clinton's options if she does not make major strides in catching up to Obama in pledged delegates.

"While the Clintons gamely continue to try to move the goal posts, at some point there has to be a reckoning," he said. "What is their path to secure the nomination? No amount of spin can change the math."
