Obama finally leads in the superdelegates as well (although he still trails about 15 votes among the DNC/DPL bureaucracy):

In any case, my humble prediction is that he'll get more delta in supers in the coming 2 days (compared to the current +3.5), than in the subsequent week..

People who are ready to switch will switch before WV..

That's probably true. As long as they don't switch back, that's OK.
My guess is, however, that Hillary's delta will not increase after WV either: her supporters want to boost WV by switching now.

I should record here that my humble prediction was wrong, although there was some WV fall-out.

my humble prediction was wrong - if pessimistic predictions turn out to be wrong, that's just fine with me :-)

Wow, the Oregon system is so similar the Secure Election Protocol that we studied in Cryptography!
