170. I think 95% agree with that.

But I think a lot of hillary supporters mistake analysis for threats.

In my eyes its not a threat to make the assumption that a lot of people who has been engaged in politics this time around - that haven't been before - would be very disappointed to learn that all their enthusiasm and work can be trumped by an inner circle of party members. They might accept a loss in terms of pledged delegates - but having a lead overturned by super delegates will potentially turn them off politics again. Not to be awakened the next time around. For whatever election.

And in my eyes its not a threat to make the assumption that a lot of African Americans will take it very badly, rightfully or not, if Obama has a pledged delegate lead overturned.

And I think that this is also on the superdelegates minds. I am willing to bet a fair amount that they will not overturn a pledged delegate lead. It being 1 or 150.

Thats not because I think it should be so. But because I think it will be so.
