I think that we're talking about different things.
It is my understanding that if he doesn't pick up at least 15% of the vote, he gets 0% of the delegates.
That is to say that if he would get 8 delegates from 15%, he'll get 0 from 14.9%. So if Hilary gets 85% even, everyone but her and Obama gets .1%, he gets nothing because he's shy of the magic 15%.
Again, I'm not disputing your basic premise, just picking a nit...
