Hi 2DV,

I hope you are well. Thanks for this post. I’d been thinking the same thing for a while now. After Wisconsin, it appears that it is closer to reality.

I have a related, but slightly off point, question - is the 1237 a hard number? Is it 50% +1 of all delegates? Or 50% +1 of those voting? If the latter, I suppose it is possible for some delegates to be delayed, or choose not to attend the balloting. My memory is that each state delegation travels with a number of alternates to reduce the likelihood of non-attendance.

What are your thoughts?

I think it is 50% plus one. Doesn’t look like anyone will achieve it.

I heard Newt discussing your exact question a couple of days ago. He was not sure which way it would go since the wording in the rules is ambiguous. He said it may depend on the rules for this current convention which haven’t been approved yet.
