1. I saw somewhere that BHO needs 100. As far as SD's have no ideal.

which I do not believe includes the eight "Pelosi Club" delegates. So don't be surprised if he racks up about five or six a day until the end of the month.

8. 65 needed. But Chuck Todd seems to think the new number will be 2131 after the meeting.

9. 2131 ?????? Is this if they seat Florida and Michigan?
And how could they do that to realistically reflect the real
will of the voters of the state.

11. 2131 is ½ vote for pledged delegates and full vote for SDs
in MI and FL. Even if you want to seat the pledged delegates somehow to give FL and MI a "voice", how the SD are still on the table is beyond me. The SDs should certainly get no more weight than their pledged delegates.

12. Are you sure that includes Supers?
I thought it excluded them.

16. Yes I am sure
4050 current total delegates
92.5 Florida pledged delegates with ½ vote (185)
26 Florida superdelegates
64 Michigan pledged delegates with ½ votes (128)
29 Michigan superdelegates

4261.5 new total delegates
50% would be 2130.75, 2131 needed for 50% + 1.
