Hardly a scenario, but ok lets deal with what you give me.

You never mention her actually winning the pledged delegate count. So
I guess that means that you figure the pledged delegates will be in
Obama's favor. We'll say slightly over half - which would be a HUGE
string of victories for Clinton. So over half the elected delegates
are going to be in opposition to Clinton at the convention. I assume
she will win in a floor fight? So much you left out. How is florida
brought in exactly? Ummm they are counted... in some degree? Could you
fill your theory out a bit? Ok so as it stands now it is pretty
evident that the statements of those who said the nomination will go
to the person with the most delegates, most popular vote, and most
contests will no longer apply.

You also stated that Super Delegates will decide "Obama is not the
best candidate for the general." Over ruling over half of the
delegates on the floor of the convention. Interesting. So the fact
this will be a huge reversal in the current trend... what precipitates
this change?

I guess I am confused. You threw out three general ideas that actually
created more questions.

But I think what your saying is Hillary needs 65 percent (about) of
the remaining popular vote to win the nomination. So if she CAN'T get
that popular vote then she needs to drop out because its impossible
for her to win?

Also you never addressed how she can walk out of a divided convention
and beat McCain.
