Half & Half ; What's Good Enough For Florida Is Good Enough For Michigan


Sources once again are saying that a deal is close on seating the Michigan delegates in pretty much the same way as the Florida delegates.

The day-long DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee meeting is to seat the Michigan delegates, giving them each half a vote, just like the Florida solution. No word yet though on how the delegates are going to be awarded between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Tell The Truthiness ; In the future, will today's goings on be referred to as The Florida Solution/The Michigan Solution? Guess it depends on how it's received by party members, democrats and the voters.

BREAKING NEWS GUESS? ; Michigan To Take All Day?


The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee's decision on Michigan, compared to the decision just made on Florida, is a whole other kettle of fish.

The idea of splitting the delegation in half between Clinton and Obama has been rejected by the Clinton camp. To make matters more confused, Senator Carl Levin is due to speak at the meeting on behalf of Michigan and demand the seating all the delegates and full votes for them.

Tell The Truthiness ; Florida, piece of cake. Michigan, this could take all night. Should we ring for a pizza?

BREAKING NEWS ; Florida Delegates To Be Seated At Half A Vote Each


Sources inside the discussions on what to do about the Florida and Michigan delegates have said that an agreement has been reached for the Sunshine State.

Floridian delegates will be seated at the Denver Convention, with half a vote each, this gives Hillary Clinton a gain of twelve delegates.

There is no mention of the superdelegates, or yet, on what the plan is for Michigan.

Tell The Truthiness ; We'll update you as it happens.
