FL and MI... So what? [View All]

Right now under the DNC rules, Obama leads Clinton by 161 Pledged Delegates, 36 Super Delegates This adds up to 197 Delegates overall.

In Florida Clinton Picks up a net:
36 Pledged Delegates
3 Super Delegates

Or 39 Total Delegates

Assuming Obama gets NONE of the MI pledged delegates (which is sort of a silly assumption, but let's go with it for the sake of argument) Clinton Picks up a net:
73 Pledged Delegates
2 Super Delegates

Or 75 Total Delegates


Combined this is 114 delegates.

197-114 = 83, leaving Obama with a still insurmountable lead in delegates.

Now lets say all those remaining undeclared MI delegates got to Hillary despite being anti-Hillary votes
That adds
55 Pledged Delegates

83-55 = 28

That means she merely needs to tie in SD and MT (which won't happen) and win PR with 73% of the vote to tie (which isn't going to happen).

In other words, if a string of insanely impossible events happen, FL and MI could actually have an impact...
