Florida
this from the Democratic chair of the state:
"It is important also that we are clear about one issue. At this time, no suggested alternative process has been able to meet three specific and necessary requirements: the full participation from both candidates, a guaranteed commitment of the millions of dollars it will cost to conduct the event and a detailed election plan that would enfranchise all Florida Democrats, including our military service members serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere."
IT sounds like she is going to push for the state to ask the Convention Credentials Committee to seat the delegates from the disqualified primary. I don't see the national party allowing this, especially if it is the one thing that would overturn Obama's delegate lead. I still think, however, that that won't be the case - I think Obama will probably have the numbers to pull it off even without this advantage, but we'll wait and see how far Hillary's comeback bounce lasts. Could be a week, could be two months...
