The remaining 29 National Convention delegates consist of

• 26 Unpledged PLEO delegates:
• 13 Democratic National Committee members.
• 12 Members of Congress (1 Senator and 11 Representatives).
• 1 Governor.
• 0 Distinguished Party Leaders (Note: Governor Edward Gene "Ed" Rendell, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1999 to 2001, is a Distinguished Party leader. Reasoning that the office holder position is better known to the public in general, The Green Papers treats elected officials who are Governors, U.S. Senators, or U.S. House members and Distinguished Party Leaders or DNC members as office holders.).
• 3 Unpledged "add-on"s (selected by the Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee).

These 29 delegates and will go to the Democratic National Convention officially "Unpledged".
