16. Obama does not and will not have enough delegates to be nominated.

It does not matter who's ahead in delegates. This primary is like volleyball: no matter who's ahead, there will be no winner until someone gets to 15. If neither side gets to the magic nomination number, there's no nomination.

IOW, Obama supporters who think they can win this thing by maintaining the lead they now have are wrong. Unless he wins much bigger than anyone expects him to, he and Hillary will enter the convention effectively TIED.

And what happens then is anybody's guess.
