Both Delegations will be fully seated and each delegate vote will count for 1/2. The delegates will be attributed according to the primary elections results held in each state, uncommitted delegates in Michigan will go to Senator Obama.
Obviously the Clinton side is not too happy with the compromise (especially Michigan), which is the best solution to start a united Party process before the convention in Denver. Clinton supporters were also in town for the hearings and they disrupted many times the session and votes. This push the magic number to clinch the nomination from 2025 to 2118. Obama is expected to declare victory on Tuesday after the last primaries (Montana and South Dakota), it is also rumored that a huge wave of superdelegates will pledge their vote for him.
However Clinton's representation at the Rules and Bylaws Committee today stated that the Senator reserve the rights to appeal the decision at the Credentials Committee at the Convention. So this might not be over, talk about Party Unity. She wanted a resolution for Michigan and Florida, we give it to her, now she wants to drag this all the way to the Denver. Party Leaders won't let her anyways, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid are pushing uncommitted superdelegates to voice their choice for either candidate after Tuesday.
We'll see what happens in the next couple days.
In other News, Senator Obama just announced that he and his family were no longer members of the Trinity Church, this announcement came after another priest, Father Pfleger made some remarks about Senator Clinton behavior during the Democratic Primaries, mocking the way she was crying before New Hampshire and how mad she was when Obama stole her thunder.
