SO, the mathematical update. NBC News has Barack Obama leading Hillary Clinton by 171 delegates. That means if she wins a mere 100% of the remaining 86 pledged delegates from Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota, she will be only be 85 delegates behind. Then, presuming (as we should) that she will get the Rules and Bylaws Committee to seat Florida and Michigan entirely in her favour (including zero delegates for Mr Obama in Michigan—the people’s voices must be heard after all, and none of those voices spoke his name), she nets 58 delegates, and is behind just 27.  Then assuming 260 or so undecided superdelegates (remember, Florida and Michigan will be fully seated, including their supers), only 55% have to be convinced to overrule the elected delegates.
