Excuse my ignorance, but I have tried to research this and can't seem to get a handle on these delegates, the big picture. It all seems kinda fuzzy to me. Anyone have any good links that would help?

2. No, there are an odd number of pledged delegates.
3253 pledged delegates, 796 super delegates, 4,049 total. Must have 2,025 to win.

4. A tie is unlikely.
Here's a pretty good site that I keep going back to:
