"The Number" will stay at 2026.

Probably. From the noise coming out of Camp Clinton, they have no intention of accepting anything beyond full seating for FL and MI, with Hillary and Obama getting what they each received in FL and MI- or some wackadoodle plan where Hilly gets what she received in MI plus some amount of the uncommitted voters. That ain't gonna happen. Odds look pretty good that Camp Hillary will reject anything else.

The number needed for nomination will stay at 2026 pending a hearing by the Credentials Committee at the Convention.

Obama is now only 41 delegates from 2026. He'll pick up 20 to 25 delegates on Sunday in PR. That would leave him needing no more than 16, and that's before SD and MT. He'll pick up just around that on Tuesday.

If, as I suspect, the requisite number needed stays at 2026, Obama will either need merely a handful of SD endorsements, or none at all.

If, by some miracle, Hillary accepts a compromise, he'll still only need a few after bagging delegates from MI and FL.

Obama supporters will be celebrating Obama having reached "the number" on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Who knows what Hillary will do then.
