"Add-on" superdelegates - Another reason Clinton won't win.
If you're looking for something to read this afternoon, CJR has an interesting piece on the (yet to be locally appointed) "add-on" superdelegates.
The point of interest is this: Of the 330 superdelegates as yet undeclared, 69 of those are these add-on superdelegates. If Clinton needs to win X % of the remaining 330 supers, this batch of 69 probably changes that number as CJR believes they break at least 50-50, if not more, towards Obama.
So, assuming "add ons" break evenly, she would have to make up the delegate difference out of the other 261 superdelegates. (Currently Obama leads overall by about 130.)
And, (CNN) Michigan permanently rules out a revote.
