Even without any clear candidate opposition, Obama faced a considerable amount of resistance in several southern states such as Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kentucky.

In addition, fixed numbers of delegates are allocated to Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Democrats Abroad under the party's delegate selection rules. Depending on each state's law and each state's party rules, when voters cast ballots for a candidate in a presidential caucus or primary, they may be voting to actually award delegates bound to vote for a particular candidate at the state or national convention (binding primary or caucus), or they may simply be expressing an opinion that the state party is not bound to follow in selecting delegates to the national convention (non-binding primary or caucus). States are awarded bonus pledged delegates if they schedule their primary or caucus later in the primary season. Those states with April dates are awarded a 10 percent increase, while those who schedule from May 1 to June 12 get a 20 percent increase. And starting on March 20, a 15 percent bonus is awarded when clusters of three or more neighboring states begin on the same day. The unpledged superdelegates included members of the United States House of Representatives and Senate, state and territorial governors, members of the Democratic National Committee, and a category of "distinguished party leaders", which includes all former Democratic presidents and vice-presidents, congressional party leaders and DNC chairs. Because of possible deaths, resignations, or the results of intervening or special elections, the final number of these superdelegates was not known until the week of the convention. Some delegates committed to candidates other than the President were not permitted to be elected in contested primaries for administrative reasons.https://www.nola.com/news/politics/article_ebdb2634-64d7-54ea-ac14-e52c5d2d2959.html John Wolfe sues Arkansas Dems to get delegates he won in 42 percent showing against Obama NOLA.com May 26, 2011 2012-08-10http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=336&articleid=20120316_336_0_Antiab760486 State anti-abortion candidate won't get presidential delegates Tulsa World 2012-08-10Harrison Heath http://www.wvablue.com/diary/7447/no-wva-dnc-delegates-for-judd West Virginia Blue:: No W.Va.
