so the dem nom needs 2025.....but that is based on a total of 4049.....does the 4049 include supers and mich and flor delgates not seated?

it would seem to me that if it does the 4049 should be reduced by 157 and 211 for florida and mich the algebra would indiacte that 1841 not 2025 would be the magic number in which case obama with 1588 and 253 = 1841 is there and hillarry at 1419 and 267 = 1686 is 155 short......not sure she can get there.....

no, as I heard it explained if you add Florida and Michigan into the mix the number of votes they need to win goes UP from 2025......
