I hit the Tab key instead of the space bar and this was posted early. Apologies.

RCP delegate count, minus superdelegates:
Obama - 1492
Clinton - 1338

There are 404 pledged delegates (including IN and NC) remaining. Here are four possible scenarios for the delegate split and the resultant delegate count:

                   Obama      Clinton
70/30 Clinton   1613      1621
60/40 Clinton   1654              1580
50/50                   1694              1540
60/40 Obama   1734              1500
70/30 Obama   1775   1459

Add in the current superdelegate count (O 256 - C 271):

                   Obama      Clinton
70/30 Clinton   1869      1892
60/40 Clinton   1910   1851
50/50                   1950   1811
60/40 Obama   1990   1771
70/30 Obama   2031   1730

There are 268 superdelegates remaining. Let's see what happens if they split in a way that is identical to the remaining pledged delegates:

                   Obama      Clinton
70/30 Clinton   1946      2073
60/40 Clinton   2013   2006
50/50                   2079   1940
60/40 Obama   2145   1874
70/30 Obama   2212   1807
