Obama is just 300 delegates away from the tipping point now; if he gets 180 more pledged by June 3, the supers get to choose between putting him over the top (he only needs 120 out of 300 to do that, or less if they keep trickling over to him the next six weeks) or 200 would have to decide it's time to back Hillary. If they hold off making a decision, they virtually a guarantee a fight all the way to Denver.

Those 200 would have to make a conscious decision to override the pledged delegates, popular vote and number of states won. I don't see many politicians being comfortable with that, not for Hillary.

We shall see.
