Via ABC News, a look at where the delegate race stands:
[Obama] would need to win 77% of all the remaining pledged delegates to hit the magic number of 2,024 to secure the nomination. That is highly unlikely due to the proportional delegate allocation rules in the Democratic Party.
Clinton would need to win 94% of all the remaining pledged delegates to hit the magic number of 2,024. (ABC News currently has her at 1449.)
So, clearly they both are going to be relying on superdelegates to secure the nomination.
If Clinton takes this all the way to the end, this is going to come down to a brokered convention, even if the brokering takes place before Democrats gather in Denver.

Hillary is in this race for Presidential Privilege, she has a court date in October that will send her butt to jail for 5 years, she knows she is going to lose a civil case which will provoke a criminal case thereafter and she and her husband will be down for the count and not in the White House. However, if she could steal the nomination and then have an excuse as to why she can not come to court or evade it and win the election in November, she could avoid it all together and make sure to sweep this issue under the table forever. She has no intentions to help this country, but to help herself, here’s the link: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56868
Now when it comes to the pledged delegates, she can not win and she has not acquired any momentum, Obama won Texas, it is the Caucus that determines who actually win the Democrats in that state which will go Red in the general election. As for a brokered convention, it won’t come to that, soon enough the Clintons will get the message when they see that all of the superdelegates will be required to vote for Obama because of the peoples vote.
That Canadian stunt that Hillary pulled was ridiculous too, when the Canadian government sent a retraction to her lie, look at this link: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Canadians_deny_Obama_call.html
And there we go.
