How the unannounced super delegates will choose.
Super Delegates are politicians. So, they will act like politicians.

278.5 have selected Clinton
304.5 have selected Obama
(The Pelosi Group will give Obama 8-10 more)

There are approximately 213 left. How will they decide?

Winner of their area
Winner of their State
Winner of Pledged Delegates
Person they think can win
Person they are most connect to

But, IMO it will come down to money.

Obama is continuing to raise money.
Clinton is continuing to borrow money.

Obama will continue to pick up a super majority of super delegates.

1. And Obama is continuing to give money and other promises to SDs
That is how it works. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, this noble stuff is great, but it's not reality.

Hillary owes too many people, Obama doesn't; he is the opportunity train to hitch your box car too.

2. Ah..Just like a good detective, a good GD:P post follows the money.
Thanks for reminding me it really IS all about the money.
