As this Wikipedia article noted, due to close delegates counts for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, there was early speculation of the first brokered convention in decades during the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. A candidate needed to win at least 2210 delegates on a total of 4419 to clinch the Democratic nomination.

So if neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton won over 2210 delegates, if the 2008 DNC was brokered, which one of these two candidates would have won in such a brokered convention? How would it have had any influence on the 2008 general election results? Would the results have been closer.
