Super Delegates will decide the nominee - The Math
Advertisements [?]

I just did the math

H has 832 delegates
O has 821 delegates

H has 50.05% of votes cast so far

There are a total (w/o MI & FL) of 3427 delegates
1663 have been voted (see above)

1764 are left

keeping the same percentage, since this race is so close, almost 50/50 (tho H will be stronger in some areas and O in others)

There is NO WAY either candidate will get the 2025 needed

So far there are 213 super delegates pledged to H and 119 to O Keep in mind these are SOFT pledges and can change sides anytime up to the convention vote
There are 493 super delegates that have not pledged either way

These numbers were taken from the 2008 Dem Convention Watch

They are not obligated to vote as their precinct or state voted, they can make their decision based on anything they decide upon, collectively or individually.
