Florida,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Michigan Delegates To Get Half-votes For Democratic Party Convention
U. S. Democratic National Committee (DNC)'s rules and bylaws committee on Saturday reinstated all of Florida and Michigan's delegates to its party's presidential nomination convention in August.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each delegate from the two states will only have half a vote at the convention because the two states held its primary earlier than the DNC allowed.
The move leaves front-runner Sen. Barack Obama's lead over rival Sen. Hillary Clinton intact and was seen as a blow to the latter.
The Florida decision,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which follows the pro-Clinton results of that state's primary, was greeted by virtually all sides as an acceptable compromise on a thorny issue.
But Clinton backers vowed to fight the Michigan decision, which gave the New York senator a 10-delegate edge over Obama in astate where his name didn't appear on the primary ballot.
The rules and bylaws committee's ruling gave Clinton 105 pledged delegates from Florida and 69 from Michigan, with a total of 87 votes.
Obama received 67 pledged delegates from Florida and 59 from Michigan, casting a total of 63 votes.
That tally leaves Obama ahead by the equivalent of 178 votes among national convention delegates.
Without counting votes from Florida and Michigan, the Illinois senator is leading by 202 votes.
The Democratic National Committee had penalized both states forholding their primaries earlier by excluding them from representation when the party nominates a candidate at the August convention.
No candidates campaigned in Florida ahead of its vote, and Clinton's was the only major candidate's name that appeared on Michigan's ballot.
She received 55 percent of the vote in that state, with 44 percent of voters voting "uncommitted. "
Based on Saturday's ruling, the new "magic number" to be the Democratic party's presidential nominee appears to be 2, 118.
CNN estimates that as of this moment, Barack Obama has 2, 050 delegates and Hillary Rodham Clinton has 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 877.
There are 55 delegates at stake Sunday in Puerto Rico's primary, 16 at stake on Tuesday in Montana and 15 at stake on Tuesday in South Dakota.
Those are the last primaries of the campaign season. None of those contests are "winner take all, " so both candidates will win at least some delegates.
The key votes will be from the 200 or so superdelegates (elected officials, party leaders and activists) who haven't yet committed to either candidate.
Obama, by Real Clear Politics' calculation, now has a 324-283 superdelegate lead over Clinton.
