2 + 2 = 5

Can anyone explain the Dem delegate math or link to a website? I read the wikipedia entry but was still confused.
I understand the half vote compromise for Florida and Michigan. (shouldn't it be 3/5?
)
What I don't understand is it looks like the number of delegates for the remaining primaries (today and tues) is less than the number Clinton needs to get the nomination. If that's true, then why doesn't Obama have enough to win? Something doesn't add up unless they're using some kind of New Deal Math.
Help?
