"The two states’ superdelegates would then be able to vote in Denver, likely netting Clinton a few more delegates." So she would come out somewhat ahead while Obama would avoid possibly a pair of defeats in any re-done primaries....I don't know why Clinton would go for this since she needs bigger edge in delegates and major mojo from primary wins...

Florida’s existing delegates would be seated at the Denver convention—but with half a vote each. That would give Clinton a net gain of about 19 elected delegates.
