So what are the statistical chances of a brokered

6. Less than the chance that Clinton will be the nominee
Obama has the 50 state machine in place, with an ability to raise funds no one else can match.

I doubt there will even be a possibility he's not the nominee after another week or two.

7. Zero--mainly because there's NO REASON for that to happen

Unless Hillary wins all ten of the remaining contests with at least 69% of the vote, enough superdelegates will get behind Obama for him to clinch 2025.
