Obama Campaign Supports Florida Compromise That Would Net Hillary 19 Delegates
It's official: The Obama campaign is supporting a compromise for Florida that would seat all the delegates at half a vote each -- giving Hillary a net gain of 19 delegates.
Obama's representative at the Rules meeting, Florida Rep. Robert Wexler, just endorsed the idea during his presentation.
"Senator Obama should be commended for his willingness to offer this extraordinary concession," Wexler said, adding that he's offering this concession "in order to promote reconciliation with Florida voters."
Though Hillary's team will still insist on a full seating, it's tough to imagine that this compromise won't end up being the final outcome. But again, the real morass is Michigan.
