The math that Obama supporters ignore
Advertisements [?]
Obama is likely to finish the primary season up between 100-110 pledged delegates if the slate delegate calculator is any guide. All Senator Clinton needs to do though is receive the support of 85-100 more superdelegates than he has to have a good shot. She wins 450 total, he wins 350 total. She wins the nomination.

Watch the superdelegate total. That's the real one to watch. Especially watch the superdelegate total if Obama loses NC, MT, OR, IN and SD.

And no, the superdelegates in my opinion will not have any hesitation to overturn the pledged delegate leader especially if Clinton pulls out a popular vote victory. Hoyer, Dean, etc, say electability is what counts.
