Remember if you redo MI and FL then it opens up the possibility of someone getting enough pledged delegates without needing the super delegates. Though it would be tough for either to make that happen but it would make it plausible.
This is part of the reason that it amazes me that the Democrats feel the need to have open primaries. If they don't think people are voting Democrat just so they can help the weakest candidate get the nomination, they are being extremely naive.
