How many Democratic delegates does Michigan have?

Michigan was supposed to have 128 delegates plus 29 superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. However the Democratic National Convention stripped Michigan of all of its delegates because it broke party rules by having its primary before February 5. Hillary Clinton, who ran unopposed in Michigan, is insisting that the delegates be seated. Barack Obama, who kept his name off the ballot as party officials requested, insists that the delegates not be seated. If the primary remains so close that the vote totals from Michigan and Florida could tip the scales, the argument over these delegates may leave the losing side feeling that it was robbed of the election.


Why did the Democratic Party strip Florida of its delegates?

The primary season does not officially start until Feb. 5. Primaries held before then are breaking Democratic party rules. The Dems have decreed that only 4 states can break the rules (Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina). Florida was not given permission to hold their primary before Feb. 5 yet they still proceeded with it anyway on Jan. 29 (why I don't know). Therefore they suffer the consequences as the Democratic party has said it will not allow the state to seat any delegates at the Democratic National Convention in August.
