The Michigan compromise

Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 07:18:20 PM PDT

This would be cheaper than spending $30 million on hasty contests.

Michigan’s 156 delegates would be split 50-50 between Clinton and Obama.

–Florida’s existing delegates would be seated at the Denver convention—but with half a vote each. That would give Clinton a net gain of about 19 elected delegates.

– The two states’ superdelegates would then be able to vote in Denver, likely netting Clinton a few more delegates.

Split them all 50/50, and you've got a deal. (As if I have a say in this at all...)
