All over the inter-tubes today ... Hillary tendrá problemas en Tejas

I'm having trouble finding some info. Michigan and Florida have 313 democratic delegates between them (these are the delegates that were stripped.) But how does that break down?

Florida went Clinton 49.7%, Obama 33, Edwards 14.4. Michigan was Clinton 55.4%, Uncommitted 39.9. So assuming these states assign delegates proportionally it's easy to see how you could seat Florida - but Michigan really seems unfair. Obviously a lot of that 39.9 would have gone to Obama.

If they are sat, how many delegates does it give each of them? What's the best case for Hillary, ~160 more delegates? Obama is harder to guess without knowing the Florida/Michigan delegate split, but something around 50 from Florida? So best for Hillary is a little over 100 delegate gain on Obama?

I'm trying to figure how much of a lead Obama needs to be able to just agree to seat those two states and still have the lead.
