May 31: D-Day
"D" for delegate, that is. :-)
On Saturday the 31st, the Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet and make a determination as to the fate of Florida and Michigan's delegates. Party lawyers have advised the committee that, according to the party's governing bylaws, they can restore no more than half of delegates from those states. Fully seating their delegations would require a vote at the national convention in August.
In any case, seating any or all of them would be insufficient to erase Obama's delegate lead.
