1. They're going to reach a compromise. They won't save Hillary.

2. It'll be settled soon. FL and MI will be seated. Hillary will still be
the loser. Barack will still be the dem nominee. And no, they won't deprive of him of delegates from MI.

3. They will be seated, but not as is. The rules must be followed.

5. I believe Hillary rejected, and Obama accepted, the Michigan compromise. Hill can't tell the truth.

6. I don't understand why the compromise has to be "acceptable" to the Clinton camp
Michigan came up with a very fair plan to give her a 10 delegate advantage out of that state, but yet we were told that Clinton "rejected" the plan? Ooooooh! Is that supposed to mean something? I mean, since when does she get to decide who is an who is not seated?

7. Wow, one in Alabama with a webcam could change the course of hsitory
but not this guy. He's just quoting the talking points of a failing campaign that has to lie about the numbers to make its case.

8. Why didn't Obama want to have a revote? Did he think he'd lose?

11. He accepted the MI compromise, Hillary didn't.
She has disenfranchised them and is preventing their delegates from being seated.

15. Dean and the FL and MI delegations, and Obama seem satisfied
that a compromise will be (or has been) reached that will seat the delegates fairly.

That's good enough for me. There is only one person stirring the pot and shouting "unfair" and "disenfranchisement", and it is clearly for her own benefit and not the people's of Florida and Michigan.
