7. Yep.
The only question is, will Obama reveal just enough superdelegates so that the last contests put him over the edge, or will he wait for the final results and release the whole pack?

9. I think he needs more than that, no?
The rule says you have to get votes equalling half the number of delegates. The delegations were fully restored for both states. Even though they can only give half a vote, I think the target number just went up the full amount.

18. Wouldn't be the first time they got something like this wrong.
I could be wrong, too. It depends on how you add the delegates I suppose. But to me they made it pretty clear that the entire delegations would be seated, and to me that means that the number required to win just went up by 170 or so. They added 128 delegates from Michigan, and 212 I think from Florida.
