DC is split into two districts each containing half of the city's wards. Each has 5 delegates apeice, and the city at large is also worth 5 delegates. What are the odds he can deny her 15% and take all the delegates? Might stand a chance in at least one of the districts.

For something to really piss you off, Hillary has the stated support of 11 of DC's 23 superdelegates, as opposed to only 2 for Obama. As I've pointed out, not only do DC's superdelegates outnumber the ones elected at the caucus, the vast majority are not elected in any way. Hillary could easily win the delegate count from DC even if she loses the caucus with the type of numbers being predicted here. This is even possible if all of DC's elected officials endorse Obama, as one already has (mayor Adrian Fenty. I'd be surprised if Eleanor Holmes-Norton doesn't too.) Poor DC, it gets screwed out of fair representation even in this case.
