a question about numbers.
when we talk of adding Mi delegates and popular vote to the mix,how are they allotted.

Does Obama get 45% ( the vote for the uncommitted.)

or Does Obama get a portion of 45% (Edwards was also not on the ballot)

or does he get 0% (because his name wasn't on it.)

serious answers only please.

1. no delegates at all
It was a shit election that will not have any delegates meaningfully seated.

2. yes I know
I'm in Mi. and I don't feel disenfranchised.(I keep hearing that I should).
But if its disenfranchisement to not include Mi.Than How is it less disenfranchising for them to not count the uncommitted votes.

I voted uncommitted I would feel very angry if Hillary was the only one allowed to pick up the votes here.

I'm probably not being very clear I think this is my first OP.
I might have started something in the lounge a few years ago,but I am uncomfortable starting posts

3. you have to ask the people doing the popular vote calculation
Official results were 594,398. Hillary got 328,309, and uncommitted got 238,168. Also Kucinich got 21,715, Dodd 3,845 and Gravel 2,361.

Kerry got 2,479,183 votes in Michigan in 2004. So primary turnout was only 24% of that.
