A Florida Solution, Redux
Tonight CNN reports:
Florida Senate Democratic Leader Steven Geller and Sen.
Jeremy Ring outlined a proposal to seat all the delegates at the
convention in August.
The plan recommends seating half of Florida’s 210 delegates based on the results of the January 29 primary.
The remaining delegates could be allocated in a number of ways,
including evenly, proportionally based on the national popular vote
(excluding Florida and Michigan) or proportionally based on the total
national delegate count, also excluding Florida and Michigan.
“I invite the campaigns to endorse our compromise to ensure victory in November,” Ring said.
The Obama and Clinton campaigns had no immediate comment on the plan.
This may be the incentive for the campaigns to finally agree.
“There is no do-over, no mail-in ballots, no complicated math. Just the basic process of American democracy is in play here.”
We shall see. But I’m not sure this falls into the Clinton criteria
of seat as voted or do a revote. Obama has restated his position that
he would abide by any DNC decision.
