One to keep your eye on: New York lawyer Ralph Dawson. It was his idea to strip the states of their delegates. He contributed $1,000 to Obama. He says he's also given to Hillary. Can he really be uncommitted at this juncture? Maybe... he says his primary goal is nominating the one that is more electable in November, rather than his personal preference.
Another "uncommitted" , David T. McDonald of Washington has already nixed Hillary's idea publicly:
McDonald said he wouldn't respond well if Clinton wanted to seat delegates based on the contests that already took place in the two states.
"If she makes the motion to allocate 'beauty contest' delegates, she will not get support from me," he said. "If she gives [the states] a chance to comply with rules, I will consider it, but they were given 30 days to comply already."
Here's an oddity: Jerome Wiley-Segovia. Although from Virginia, he was appointed by Dean to represent the Latino vote. He thinks Obama has a better chance of winning but praises Hillary's campaign for its "competency."
Homework for the willing googler: Are any of those supporting Hillary on record as being in favor of counting MI and FL as is?? So far, i haven't found anything:(

OK--let me try to explain something to you: the Rules and Bylaws Committee is the committee that decided to strip Florida and Michigan of their delegates. Do you understand?

Mark Brewer (MI)....uncommitted

Mark can vote on the florida issue but not the michigan issue.... Allan can vote on the michigan issue but not the florida issue.

It's worth noting that Katz-FL was the only member on the committee to vote against stripping 100% of delegates. The other 23 members who voted all said "aye," including Mr. Harold Ickes.

Saying that with a user name like yours does not make you candidate any more appealing.
Just thought I would state the obvious.
