58. If Obama opens up and holds a lead of more than 57 delegate votes
then FL and MI can be seated and have their votes counted, and it sitll wont' save her. Go look up the numbers of CNN - seating both would give her about 57 extra delegates - that's the size of her advantage in FL and MI. I think we can assume 'uncommitted' delegates from WI would go for Obama since he's the only other option, and those who wanted Hillary have already voted for her.

Leaving aside Superdelegates, Obama already has a 103 delegate lead from the states that have voted so far. So you could plug the numbers from FL and MI in today and he would still ahead. If his numbers keep up as they are this will become a non-issue.
