The DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee meets in Washington, D.C. Saturday.

As a nerd who's been watching the at times contentious but mostly cordial debate most of the morning, and right now actually, my guess is that half-votes will be granted to the Florida delegates.

Florida Sen. Bill Nelson made the case to seat the delegates and said despite being told their vote would not count by news media and the DNC, Florida democrats turned out in record numbers for the Jan. 29 primary.  About 1.7 million voters turned out to cast their vote.  He agreed half-votes for seated Florida delegates was a fair concession.

Clinton's designated spokeswoman Sen. Arthenia Joyner wants it all, urging the panel to grant a full vote for each of Florida's 211 delegates.  The impossible-not-to-like Joyner was a lively speaker.

"In life you don't get everything you want. I want it all," Sen. Joyner said with a smile.  Not likely, but why not try?  Joyner made a case for not letting the actions of Florida Republicans, who voted down an amendment to move the date of the Florida primary back within DNC rules (and who outnumber Dems 2-to-1), disenfranchise Florida Democratic voters.  The primary date had been moved up to Jan. 29 in a bill that passed to add a paper trail to Florida voting practices to avoid a repeat of the 2000 debacle.

Obama campaign spokesman Rep. Mark Wexler called for half-votes for each of the 211 delegates.  He called it an "extraordinary concession, in order to promote reconciliation with Florida's voters."  It seems like a move to placate Florida voters, who Obama doesn't want to alienate come November. 

With the Obama camp on board, it appears likely this will be the consensus when the rules committee deliberates.  But we'll see, nothing shocks me anymore these days.  

And get ready to hear arguments over the popular vote count.  A case will be made by the Clinton camp that she leads the popular vote if/when Florida and Michigan are counted.

The Michigan primary is still being discussed as reps for each campaign address the 30 member committee.  The Michigan situation is a bit dicier as Obama was not even on the ballot.

And the never-ending story continues...

Update:  Sure enough.  The committee agreed to seat both the Florida delegation based on the outcome of the January primary, and the Michigan delegation (with a more controversial divvying of votes), but with each delegate getting half a vote as a penalty.
