He really has become my go-to guy for intelligent analysis on TV. Even at 1:30am he's still making sense. To paraphrase....
Neither candidate can win the required number of delegates without the Supers.
More importantly, this process shows what each candidate cannot do. HRC is not a good party leader. She is proving she cannot organize, cannot "handle the caucus thing." Obama is amazing at that, but he has yet to figure out how to win the big states, the big message battles, the big war, which is what the Clintons always did so well. Bill Clinton was a two term president who would personally win big on election night but see his party routed down ticket. By the end of his two terms in office, the party had withered down to nothing in half the states in the nation. The more things change...
One needs to figure out how to do the other, and whoever does it first will win.
Howard Dean can't do much here, but he can do one big thing: he can solve the Florida and Michigan questions. Fix it before Pennsylvania.
A loss in Pennsylvania would be a "devastating blow" for Clinton. It is a "must win" for her, and a huge opportunity for Obama. He's got to close the deal there.
