Tying Up the Loose Ends

May 8th, 2008

As I noted, Clinton is out one way or another. So what does that mean for Democrats? The time for reconcilliation begins and what better place to start than Florida and Michigan?

After months of wrangling it appears the two states, two candidates and the DNC are all reaching a compromise. The current suggestion is that Florida leaders are talking to both candidates about seating all or some of the states delegates. Meanwhile reports are that Michigan could seat Hillary Rodham Clinton with 69 delegates and Barack Obama with 59, essentially splitting a state where Obama did not appear on the ballot and Clinton won overwhelmingly. If the plan is accepted it will then go to the Rules and Bylaws Committee which will meet on May 31st.
