33 Or 41 Until We're Done.
Presently Obama needs 41 more Delegates (SD or otherwise) to reach the nomination goal.

Conversely, Clinton only has a buffer of 33 Delegates before she can not win (she presently needs 244 while there are only 277 delegates remaining).

If the RCB does the maximum it can and it restores half the pledged delegates from MI and FL, nothing really changes but the magnitude of the end game. Obama will still be about 7 times closer to winning than Clinton will be.

Clinton needs to tone down the rhetoric of taking this to the convention. It not only damages the party, but it's damaging to her. If she has hopes of maintaining her senate seat or hopes of a future run in 2016 (after Obama has served his two terms), then she needs gracefully allow the end-game to play out to June 3rd, after which, she will do the honorable thing and support Obama's Presidency.
