1. And I have a feeling that the RBC has already worked out

FL and MI. My prediction is that Obama gets the uncommitted vote and delegates from MI, and FL's delegates are cut in half. Clinton will get her SDs from both states and Obsama will get his SDs from both states.

2. He'll pick up his pledged delegates today for the majority, but .....

when and what state do you think will put him over the top for the nom or will that depend on the number of super delegates that trickle out each day?

How many undeclared super delegates are left and if we add up the projected delegate count for oregon, montana, south dakota and even puerto rico, will he win the nom outright or must he have X number of super delegates no matter what?
