Does Bill Clinton Think Obama has Prohibitive Lead?

Interesting story on ABC News site today. In this article Bill Clinton is quoted as saying:

If we had the Republican system of winner take all in the big states then Hillary would have a prohibitive lead on the delegates because she won the preponderance of the big states.

Nice spin that the pesky rules are the only thing in the way of a Hillary victory.

I decided to check on this. I used the list of states won be each candidate according to Obama's website (giving Texas to Hillary) and the pledged delegate counts from DemConWatch to see what this "prohibitive" lead would be.
