There’s massive news out of the Democrats! They have voted today, not an hour ago, to seat Michigan & Florida! They have seated all the delegates of both states, and allocated who they are voting for. So this drastically changes the numbers. Since there are now more delegates in the pie… you need more to get half. There’s a new ‘needed to win’ number and there are new numbers for the delegates themselves. Let’s take a look:
Winning number: 2,118
| Candidate | Pledged Delegates | Super Delegates | Total Delegates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Obama | 1,724 | 328 | 2,050 |
| Clinton | 1,598 | 291 | 1,887 |
| Totals | Pledged Delegates | Super Delegates | Total Delegates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Possible | XX | XX | 4,233 |
| Claimed | 3,322 | 619 | 3,937 |
| Remaining | XX | XX | 296 |
| Completed | XX | XX | 93.01% |
I know how many delegates are being added into the system overall, but I don’t yet know what the breakdowns are for pledged/supers. I will get that information as soon as I can, but as you can see, we are 93% done with this race, vote wise, by my math.
Clinton got a victory today, though not as big as she would have liked, they were still seated in her favor. However, one of her supporters on the rules committee ‘reserves the right to take this to the convention’ Wow. The Obama supporters, said very little, in terms of pro-Obama speak, I watched most of what happened on that floor. Talk about Sore WINNING!
