3. I think their count is wrong.

The number required to win needs to go up by half of the delegates. The delegations were fully seated. They worded it specifically so that they got all of their delegates, with a half vote each rather than just half of the delegates.

4. You may be right - what do you think the count is?

5. I thought with adding 330 or so delegates, that the number to win

would go up around 165... but I think MSNBC halved those numbers when they made their new calculation... they may be right, but as I heard them talk about it was full delegate seating with half votes, not half the delegates.

If the rule still stands that you have to have a majority of the delegates, I thought it would go up for the increased delegate's full count.


I am just happy to have at least half my vote count.

6. I have said once that you are wrong. Even AP is reporting the same number.

The resolution increased the number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination to 2,118, leaving Obama 66 delegates short but still within striking distance after the three final primaries are held in the next three days.

Obama picked up a total of 32 delegates in Michigan, including superdelegates who have already committed, and 36 in Florida. Clinton picked up 38 in Michigan, including superdelegates, and 56.5 in Florida.

Obama's total increased to 2,052, and Clinton had 1,877.5, according to The Associated Press calculations.
