Compromise gives each delegate half a vote at convention

WASHINGTON - Democratic Party leaders agreed Saturday seat Michigan and Florida delegates with half votes into this summer's convention with a compromise that left Barack Obama on the verge of the nomination but riled Hillary Rodham Clinton backers who threatened to fight to the August convention.

"Hijacking four delegates is not a good way to start down the path of party unity," said adviser Harold Ickes.

Clinton's camp maintains she was entitled to four additional Michigan delegates.

WiseOne's Comments, I figured that would happen, or something close to it. But, I still can't see how this will help Hillary out though.

Hillary is obviously trying to maintain a split in the Democrat Party to keep Obama from winning, so she can run in 2012.

Obama might have won Michigan if his name had been on the ballot. He was ahead of her in the final poll before the primary. I think it would have been fairer if they had split the votes evenly between her and Obama.
