I think a lot of Dems hated Hillary and jumped ship on her as soon as Obama provided a viable alternative. (Looks like there's a lot of "Anybody But Clinton" even among Inner Party Faithful.)
Obama is very charismatic, and runs his campaign primarily on force of personality. He's just a lot more LIKEABLE, and so far he's running a relatively-clean campaign without a lot of the obnoxious antics that have become "normal" these days.
However, in a brokered convention, the decision goes to the "Unelected Superdelegates", i.e. Party bosses. And I'm sure a lot of them are getting phoned up and listening to their FBI files being read to them in an "Aw Shucks" Arkansas accent...
