"The Republican Party said 'OK, we'd like to win Florida in the fall so we are gonna invoke our rule, they got out of turn, we will seat their delegates as half a delegate and seat their superdelegates,' " Clinton said at a campaign event in Missoula, Mon. "That is an appropriate penalty." -- Bill Clinton at a campaign rally last week

But maybe that's not good enough--maybe Hillary needs to get Bill on board:

Sen. Clinton dismissed the suggestion, saying she would insist on 100 percent representation for Florida.

"I think that is disingenuous but it's also insulting to the 1.7-million Floridians who actually turned out to vote," Clinton, D-N.Y., said of Obama's proposal, according to today's St. Petersburg Times.

What we know--what has been proven--is that while Hillary certainly cares about the MI and FL delegations, her interest is served by making no accomodation on them and instead taking the issue to the convention.  She is less concerned with their voices being heard than she is by her candidacy being preserved.

This is why I suggested earlier today that Obama agree to seat the MI and FL delegations as they stand--but I was wrong, which is why I deleted the diary.  Seat FL with half a vote each, granting no superdelegate votes for the state, and do the same for MI (granting Obama the uncommitted vote).  Anything less is just not acceptable in any kind of meaningful way.

Hillary, again, would best be served by ensuring everyone affiliated with the campaign is on the same page--even Bill.

Then again, Bill's position on this is reasonable.  Maybe it is he who should be ensuring the rest of her campaign is on board.
