Huckabee does not need 83%, only 61%

A common fallacy is that Huckabee needs 83% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination.  He only needs 61% of the remaining delegates, or more accurately, he and Ron Paul need 61% of the remaining delegates, to deny McCain the 1191 delegates needed for nomination and throw the nomination to a brokered convention.  At that point he could win the nomination at the convention, as could Romney or McCain.
