Busloads of Hillary Clinton supporters will swarm a meeting next week at a D.C. Marriott, where Democratic Party elders hope to forge a compromise over Florida and Michigan's now-voided convention delegates.

"We really don't know what to expect, but we do know that the Clinton people are very organized," said a senior Democratic National Committee source.

Clinton, in Florida on Wednesday, compared the current vote fiasco to 2000, when George Bush edged Al Gore - still a sore point for many Democratic partisans.

"If Democrats send the message that we don't fully value your votes, we know Sen. (John) McCain and the Republicans will be more than happy to have them," Clinton said.

"The Republicans will make a simple and compelling argument: Why should Florida and Michigan voters trust the Democratic Party to look out for you when they won't even listen to you?" she added.

shades of 2000 indeed:
