What will be the result of the Democratic primary (popular vote/pledged delegates/nominee)?
Settled as Obama wins POP & PD, selected as nominee
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/
Background:>
It's virtually impossible for Clinton to regain the lead in pledged delegates, and she faces quite an uphill battle to gain the lead in popular votes. Some say that she needs the popular vote to be selected as the nominee.
NOTE: For the purposes of this question, "popular vote" includes the count from the Florida primary, but not the count from the Michigan primary.
"POP" indicates the popular vote with Florida, "PD" represents pledged delegates.
Settlement details:
As reported by a major mainstream news source.

After the last primary, realclearpolitics reports Popular Vote Total 17,495,726 48.1% 17,461,810 48.0% Obama +33,916 +0.1%
There's not enough votes left to make a difference (1% of Montana precincts), so this should be safe to settle as Obama winning pop/pd/selected as nominee.
