>Let's assume neither get a majority during the first round of voting during the convention. From what I understand, the delegates then are released to vote for whomever they want. If so, she doesn't have to win to win.

Correct. But in order to get to that point, Clinton would have to bring the delegate margin down so much so that Dean, Reid, and Pelosi can't get the supers to go with Obama in a couple of months. They plan to tell the supers to vote with the leader as of June.

If Clinton wins by more then 10 points tomorrow, I don't think Dean and Pelosi can prevent the superdelegates from doing anything other than waiting for the convention. Even if she wins by only 5-10 points, Dean and Pelosi will still have a hard sale to make IMO.
