11. Not Exactly
Michigan (like Florida) is banking on the DNC backing down and inviting its delegates to the convention. The "uncommitted delegates" could then go for whichever candidate they choose (who is still running). So, assuming no one else drops out, each uncommitted delegate could go for Kucinich, Obama or Edwards (or even Clinton, although there would be little point).

But, the people who want to be delegates have doubtless communicated to people within their party the candidate they are supporting. Uncommitted is just a technicality to get around the DNC rules and fact that candidates pulled out of Michigan. When the state holds its caucuses to select delegates (based on the primary results) there will be no "uncommitted"


At least, that's if I understand it correctly.
