OBAMA GETS TO 2209
I cant believe no one is talking about this but Ill give it a try. Its seems pretty clear to me that Obama can get to 2209 (the number Including Florida and Michigan) without a problem. You start with the numbers he has now. 1859.5. If you give him just what he gets for Michigan and Florida (supers and pledged) that would raise him to 1932.5 (as it would raise Hillary some as well.) Well after that if you say that the winner of the remaining primaries (whether its Hillary OR OBAMA) gets 62% (I just picked it since it seems attainable in each primary) Obama gets 97 of the remaining 217. That gets him to 2039.5 at that point he would only need 170 of the remaining 256 SuperDelegates. (thats 2 of every 3 which is what he is averaging anyhow.) Damn how the hell is everyone missing this. He might get to 2209 without even getting the unomitted in Michigan. He would just need his supers and pledged from the election in Florida. This is so over.

2. I wonder why they make the delegate number high
isn't the GOP number much smaller?
