And both Florida and Michigan are resolved!

Florida passes unanimously, Michigan passes 19-8. It passed with the support of several Clinton endorsers, including former DNC Chair Don Fowler.

To recap: Florida is seated based on the "straw poll" primary from January with delegates at half-strength. Michigan is seated 69-59, also with delegates at half-strength.

We are now done. Clinton can of course fight the decision in front of the credentials committee, as indicated by Harold Ickes, but I can't imagine that she will; 5 of her supporters at the RBC jumped ship on Michigan, which gives you a sense of how much support she would lose if she tries to fight it. She would also have to defend a primary in which Obama was not on the ballot and write-in ballots were ignored. That's a very difficult position to defend, and I don't think she'll do it.

Chuck Todd's quick math is that Obama is now 65 delegates away. Less the 43 Todd predicts for the next three primaries, Barack would need just 22 delegates to hit the magic number. If he gets those before Tuesday, Montana will put him over the top. I'd bet heavily in favor of him getting all the superdelegates he needs to seal the deal on Tuesday evening.

Update - Chuck Todd: "Yes it's true that Harold Ickes can threaten this stuff about the credentials, but Don Fowler really did signal today by being for the Michigan compromise that, 'Guys, it's over.'" (h/t: georgia10)
