West Virginia has a total of 29 delegates in the Democratic National Convention and 34 delegates in the Republican National Convention, making a total of 63 delegates. The allocation of these delegates is determined by the state's primary election results, with a portion being awarded proportionally and others on a winner-takes-all basis.
From Wikipedia: Delegates are the people who will decide the nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Delegates from the fifty US states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have a single vote each, while some delegates from American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, Guam and Democrats Abroad have half a vote each. Thus, the total number of delegates is slightly higher than the total number of available delegate votes (4,048).

The total number of delegates present at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was 55. However, not all delegates attended every session; the number of attendees varied throughout the convention. Ultimately, 39 delegates signed the final document.
Florida was supposed to have 210 delegates. However the Democratic National Convention stripped Florida of all of its delegates because it broke party rules by having its primary before February 5.
All 13 sent men to the convention. In total there were 55 men who were there. Not all were there at the same time and many came and went as the months went on. You have to remember that May to Sept. is prime growing time and many were owners of plantations or had business at home. A large number were lawyers.

The important thing when running for nomination is delegates. The delegates from each state vote on who the nominee will be. In some states, the counties decide the state delegates, and the precincts decide the county delegates and so on. It is mathematically possible for someone who comes last in a state to collect all the delegates, and that is what Ron Paul claims to be doing in many states. Nevertheless, delegate estimates are putting him in last, and he hasn't won any state outright yet, so his campaign isn't going as well as the other candidates' so far.
They all did ratify, but some battles were harder than others. It depended on how many delegates had been there (Pennsylvania was one of the first 9 to ratify and it had 8 delegates), which delegates they were, and how many Anti-Federalists there were. The fight for ratification in New York was particularly bitter, as they had one delegate (who lost his vote when the other 2 NY delegates left), a slew of ardent Anti-Federalists, and several nasty exchanges in the ratification convention. It was actually that that led to the creation of the Federalist Papers. Other states were easier, like Delaware, which was the first state because it was the first to ratify.
