After the RBC decision on Mi. and Fla. today, the new numbers according to DCW now stand at:

Obama-2053
Clinton-1876.5

Obama now needs 64 delegates to capture the nomination. Let the countdown begin.

Yes we can

Clinton cannot now catch Obama. All delegates have been seated. Time for some sanity and endorse Obama.

Clinton's not going to endorse Obama because she's clearly psychotic.

All delegates have been seated. She was lucky to get what little she got today. The rabid hyenas shouting and carrying on at the Committee meeting today should be happy too. It's clear to everyone, including her, that she's not going to win the nomination. This is clearly a game of "Mother, May I" where Hillary wants to be given three leaps, while Obama is denied taking baby steps. However, while she is being granted these leaps by her opponent, her stubby legs prevent her from catching up.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if she continued her campaign past the general election. She is truly ruthless and a sore loser.

Sit down, Hillary.

She is not going to endorse him till the convention.

The DNC created this mess all for them selves. Thank God Dean was not elected president as he can not even run a committee.

I think it get what he needs by Tuesday. Now I expect the whinning and blaming to start tonight by Clinton and her supporters to how unfair this meeting was today. Who were those people at the meeting screaming and acting like 3 year olds.

Hillary got what she said she wanted -- all delegates to be counted from FL & Mi. Now she will have to think of a new reason for being the nominee. Obama has won by the rules of the game. MORE delegates. The popular vote is NOT the criteria for picking the nominee. Get over yourself Hillary and stop splitting the party for your dream of Dynasty.

I don't know. I thought there were going have a dignified, closed meeting. A couple of times, it sounded as if there was a mass covergence of the animals from the National Zoo into the Committee hall.

Seems to me it should have been all (count them the people voted) or nothing (stick to the original rules) Now everyone is going to be speculating who got the better end of the deal!

So let me get this straight. The DNC basically adopted the Florida's Republican rule for seating 1/2 of the delegates so are you stating then that the Republicans are the same and can't run a committee or Primary right. Is that what you are saying.
