26. Do not buy the hyperbole.
There are only pledged delegates and Super Delegates. OBama will lead by 150 to 160 pledged delegates (even with a Florida re-vote).

This won't go to the convention.

Sometime, when it is mathematically impossible for Clinton to tie the pledged delegates, the senior party officials will arm twist the Supers and make the call. Clinton will have to suspend her campaign. Nobody wants this to go on any longer than absolutely required. If it goes to a floor fight, the Republicans win. The senior party officials will NOT attempt to convince Obama, who will have that 150 pledged delegate lead, to drop out after Puerto Rico.

Don't worry about things so much, this is almost over.

Not to mention, Hillary is no longer a Democrat. Even senior long time Democrats have taken notice of the "crossed the threshold" speeches.
