###@------------The Michigan Delegates---------@###
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 03:24 PM by wlucinda
Hillary won - 328,151 - 55%
Uncommitted won - 237,762 - 40%

The total original delegate count was 156

John Conyers started the push for voting "uncommitted" which allows delegates, if the Michigan group is seated, to be just that, uncommitted. Presumably they could vote for Edwards or Obama.

I'm not sure if there is weird weighting in Michigan delegate assignments, but on the surface it looks like the number of delegates assigned to Clinton - and Uncommitted, would be quite close.

I think we'd be foolish not not seat the delegates.
The Conyers worked hard to get the Uncommitted vote out. I presume he feels the same way.
