The Republicans on the other hand don't have the super delegates so every delegate won in each state are very important to getting the final nomination. Which is the way I prefer it since the people get the say.

The super delegates aren't with Clinton until the death, if Obama wins more delegates than her by the convention, you'll see alot of superdelegates shift their support. (That or there will be blood on the convention floor)
Alot of the establishment is coming around to the idea of Obama being the nominee. The main reason Hillary has the establishment support she does is because her and Bill told these people two years ago they needed to be with her now, or don't ask for a seat at the table later. None of these people were willing to bet against the Clintons then, especially not knowing who else would be in the race.
That support is a mile wide and an inch deep, and if things start trending towards Obama those people will be lining up to get on the bandwagon.
