Clinton campaign complains about Michigan deal

The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee reinstated all of Florida and Michigan's delegates to its party convention, with each getting a half-vote.

For Florida: Clinton gets 105 pledged delegates, Obama gets 67. Total of 87 votes.

For Michigan: Clinton gets 69 delegates, Obama gets 59. Total of 63 votes.

However, the Clinton campaign is fighting the Michigan deal. They have argued that since Obama's name on the state ballot was not there, then Clinton would get 69 delegates, but the 59 delegates would be "uncommitted," thereby letting them choose which candidate to support. Harold Ickes demanded that the delegates be allocated in a manner that "fairly reflects" the votes cast.

Of course, they fail to mention that Obama supporters were urged to vote on "Uncommitted" during the primary election in order to show support for him.

Second, regardless of the Michigan allocation, Obama would still lead in delegates.
