2. Which may favor Clinton, according to Chris Bowers

Not sure which committee Dean said would make the decision, but the rules committee is 'dominiated by Clinton supporters.'

The rules committee is dominated by Clinton supporters, even though it was the rules committee that stripped the Michigan and Florida primaries as the means to select delegates from those two states. Be prepared for a change of direction from the rules committee. As James Boyce wrote yesterday: "ote to Obama supporters, you better have enough delegates to win with those counting for Hillary, trust me on this. In fact, lawyer up now." Indeed, trust him on this one.

5. I trust the committee of Democrats

as votes need to be counted..since we are all too familiar with the consequences of not counting votes. Additionally, I also recognize the need to have the DNC Rules enforced. There always was a method in place to deal with the votes.

6. I wish I could be sanguine about it

And hopefully they'll come up with something equitable, but it's hard to see a solution that doesn't roil things up pretty good. At least seating those delegates were a deciding factor.

4. I've said from the beginning

If Hillary winds up needing those delegates, they'll be allowed.

But then I'm a cynic...

7. Good. For the first time, he's not say they won't be counted.

Better late than never.

9. So first he alienates Michigan and Florida voters and now,

after the fact, he'll actually contemplate reversing the decision. How on earth is that fair to Obama and Edwards? I thought the Republicans were the party of dirty tricks.
