Possible Florida and Michigan Delegates Plan
From Mark Halperin at Time’s The Page:
- Michigan’s 156 delegates would be split 50-50 between Clinton and Obama.
- Florida’s existing delegates would be seated at the Denver convention—but with half a vote each. That would give Clinton a net gain of about 19 elected delegates.
- The two states’ superdelegates would then be able to vote in Denver, likely netting Clinton a few more delegates.
Everyone’s now looking to Obama, since this is about the best deal Clinton’s going to (should) get.
Last week I was saying that it was too soon for everyone to be clamouring about the end of this primary race. I may have changed my mind on that. It’s after March 9, right?
(Confidential to Barack Obama: please help everyone stop embarrassing themselves on a daily basis.)
