MDP releases delegate numbers
Not sure what this means considering the stance of the national committee, but anyway the cogent points are thus:
Overall, Clinton will have 73 pledged delegates, 16 pledged alternates, and 10 committee members, and there will be 55 uncommitted delegates, 5 uncommitted alternates, and 8 uncommitted committee members.
Eighty-three (83) pledged delegates and 15 pledged alternates will be elected at Congressional District Conventions on March 29, 2008. The remaining 45 pledged delegates and 6 pledged alternates will be elected at a State Central Committee meeting on May 17, 2008 in Grand Rapids. Committee members will be elected that day by the entire delegation.
These 128 pledged delegates, 21 pledged alternates and 18 committee members together with 28 unpledged delegates (also known as “super delegates”) will constitute Michigan’s delegation to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado on August 25-28.
(In order to join in at the district conventions in electing the people who will serve as delegates, you need to have been a member of the Michigan Democratic party by Jan 31 of this year. Which I was. I haven't decided if I'll go participate or not.)

Oopsie. (Personally, just out of a fit of spite towards political parties in general, I'd love it if Clinton ended up having a very tiny slight lead at that point - just to watch the camps try and wriggle they way into arguing exactly the opposite of what they're arguing for now.)
Better hope one of them ends up winning prior to the national, or this is going to be *UGLY*. With a capital Ugh.
