ABC News reports that DNC Rules and Bylaws committee met last night and concluded their meeting at 1:30 AM without resolving how to deal with the Florida and Michigan delegates that Hillary Clinton wants seated with full voting rights.

The key sticking point is how to allocate delegates in Michigan where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., took his name off of the ballot.

There appears to be more agreement on how to proceed with Florida.

The most likely scenario is for the Sunshine State’s entire delegation to be seated — each member with 1/2 vote.

The exhausted DNC members are scheduled to reconvene publicly at 9:30 am ET. They will hear from the presidential campaigns, state party officials, and party members challenging the DNC’s decision to strip Florida and Michigan of all delegates.

The Democrats are in a bind because neither Clinton or Obama is likely to be totally satisfiied with the committees decision since it will probably mean some type of compromise.
