Florida, Michigan get all delegates, but each gets half vote:

-- After a day of wrangling in front of a sometimes unruly crowd, the Democratic National Committee's rules and bylaws committee reinstated all of Florida and Michigan's delegates to its party convention, with each getting a half-vote to penalize the states for moving their primaries earlier than the party had approved.

So what does this mean?

It means that this campaign is essentially over. Obama still needs a little over 60 delegates to win the nomination, and he probably cannot get there with the last three primaries alone, so he will need (and get) the extra push from the superdelegates.

It is over. Barack Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

And he can finally start running against John McCain.

And in November Obama will be elected as the President of the United States.

Should be fun!
