Hillary would need something like 70% of the superdelegates to come her way after the primary, Obama, something like 30 or 40 %.
The chair of the DNC is Nancy “respect the will of the people/pledged delegates” Pelosi.
Her chances of winning the nomination are at best 20% imo.

As I understand the rules (probably imperfectly), if nobody wins on the first ballot, then the delegates are free to vote for whomever. I can see it happening that the first ballot fails to select a nominee, and then the politicing begins, which the Clintons are masters of. Maybe we'll see 1968 all over again, riots included.
