If the Dems didn't have Superdelegates...
Monday, May 05, 2008 by Dave Winer.
I was wondering if the Democrats, like the Republicans, didn't have superdelegates, where would the race stand right now. Here are the numbers... 
At this moment, Obama has 1491 and Clinton has 1337.
There are 404 delegates remaining in 8 primaries and caucuses.
So with a difference of only 154 delegates, the nomination would not be decided.
However, to take the nomination by 1 delegate, Clinton would have to win 70% or the remaining delegates.
