  1. Note, the Democrat voters specifically voted for "Uncommitted" in Michigan rather than for any of the Democrat candidates on the ballot -- and Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan. Draw your own conclusions.

  2. Just wondering what you used as a source. Some of the states have some bizarre rules for awarding delegates. I believe it is Wyoming where the delegates are not even obliged to vote as their district did. But I could be wrong.

  3. I used The Green Papers, which has a considerable elaboration on the question of delegates. I chose a cheap and obvious way of counting delegates -- not necessarily the best way.

We reserve the right to delete comments, but the failure to delete any particular comment should not be interpreted as an endorsement thereof.

In general, we expect comments to be relevant to the story, or to a prior comment that is relevant; and we expect some minimal level of civility. Defining that line is inherently subjective, so try to stay clear of insulting remarks. If you respond to a comment that is later deleted, we may take your response with it. Deleting your comment isn't a personal knock on you, so don't take it as such.

We allow a variety of ways for commenters to identify themselves; those who choose not to do so should take extra care. Absent any prior context in which they may be understood, ironic comments may be misinterpreted. Once you've earned a reputation for contributing to a conversation, we are likely to be more tolerant in those gray areas, as we'll understand where you're coming from.
