It's pretty complicated and is determined by each states' parties. CNN has a list of how many delegates are needed to get the nomination and have a good breakdown of available delegates. Some states also have pre-set delegates or super delegates and it's all really bizarre, actually.

That's true of the Republican Party. In the Democratic side, all states have the same rules for the delegates-- you are awarded delegates based on the percentage of the vote you capture.
And can I just say YAY!!! to my SC peeps for overwhelmingly voting for Obama!
