I've been doing more math (I found out the variables I used in my last post were wrong, thus making the numbers wrong, so I double-checked the actual variables and crunched more numbers -- corrections forthcoming), and factoring the latest poll numbers in upcoming primaries and translating those to delegates, by the end of this mess Obama will need just 85 superdelegates to push him over the top. As of last night, the number of undecided superdelegates was 271 -- so that's 32%. Clinton, on the otherhand, will be 217 delegates away from the nod by my projections. So she'll need 80% of the remaining superdelegates to break her away. Though it looks better than my previous numbers, based on incorrect variables, but.. Not much better. I'll be making a post about this after class. It doesn’t matter if he has a superdelegate lead.
