Democrats Deal With Florida, Michigan
May 28, 2008
The Democratic Party has met in closed door meetings to try and figure out how to deal wit the sticky issue of counting the Michigan and Florida delegates. The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee plans to meet officially on Friday and Saturday in Washington to hammer out a compromise deal with the two states. Michigan and Florida moved up the dates of their primary votes, back in January, violating party rules for primary dates. As punishment, both state parties were told they would not be represented when the party officially nominates a presidential candidate at the August convention in Denver, Colorado.
