The Drudge Report has just put up a link to a You Tube of an audio of a fundraiser last month where ex-President Bill Clinton said in private on April 29, 2008 at the Westglow Spa in Blowing Rock, NC that solution is to seat half a delegate for each delegate in the disputed primary states. VIDEO IS BELOW.
Also listen to what Clinton said about Democratic party rules. Apparently the participants had a tape recorder and this was not supposed to be an official public pronouncement.
Here’s the You Tube:
FOOTNOTE: Nothing official has been announced yet, but The Huffington Post political reporter Sam Stein reports that two sources have told him that a compromise has been reached over Florida that will entail the awarding of half-delegates to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — but Michigan remains possibly unsolvable and could go all the way to the convention.
UPDATE: Is there a briar patch scenario behind all of this?
