DNC chair Howard Dean just met with a bunch of Dem members of Congress from Florida, as well as state chair Karen Thurman, in an effort to demonstrate seriousness of purpose with regard to getting the delegation sat.

No huge developments, but DNC spokesperson Stacie Paxton tells me that he assured the assembled polls that he's bent on getting Florida seated, but that it has to be done in a way both campaigns will agree with.

Asked if any specific ideas on how to do this were discussed, Paxton said no, adding that the DNC "needed to start by getting everyone in the room first, then we'll figure out details."

The DNC and the Florida will be issuing a joint statement soon. The meeting comes on the same day that The New York Times did a big piece reporting that Dems are worried that Dean won't be able to navigate all the competing interests in a way that will finally solve the Florida and Michigan conundrums.

Late Update: I forgot to add that Dean told the pols that hotel rooms have been booked for the delegates.
