clipper's remarks: In the end it could come down to Howard Dean as his 25 members would be enough to sway the vote one way or the other.

the Clinton campaign has confirmed that it plans to use a May 31st meeting of the Democratic Party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee to try and seat the entire Michigan and Florida delegations

estimates that seating of the entire delegations from the two disputed states will give her a pledged delegate lead of around 55 delegates

Clinton controls the Rules and Bylaws Committee with at least 50% of its members supporting her

Obama supporters won’t take this lying down, of course. They could protest the decision to the Credentials Committee of the Democratic National Convention

One hundred sixty-one of the committee’s 186(!) members are allotted to each campaign in a ratio equal to the performance in each state contest

should the Rules and Bylaws committee vote to seat the Michigan and Florida delegations, there could be a battle over the make up of the Credentials Committee itself

the remaining 25 members of the Credentials Committee are appointed directly by DNC Chairman Howard Dean
