The delegate count for FL and MI will be solved on, or about May 31.

After absorbing months of news analysis, and listening to the DNC folks that are in charge of making their decision on FL and MI on the May 31 meeting, there is no doubt in my mind that this will be resolved then.

The reason being that they simply can not leave this fester any longer.

Here is the way I see it going down. They have to give FL and MI a consequence for breaking the rules. They already have the example of what the Republicans did with these two states, so the DNC will follow suit.

All the delegates from FL and MI will be given half weight (including SD from those two states). The ‘uncommitted’ out of Michigan will be given to Obama (It’s the only fair thing that could be done in this given situation). The delegate count to win the nomination will be adjusted accordingly.

This will be done, regardless of what Obama or Clinton thinks about it. Why? Because it has to be. PERIOD. No more games.

Obama is so far ahead in the pledged delegates, and the flood of SD’s that will be coming his way, that he will have a hard lock on the nomination very soon after.

The DNC will not allow this to go on to the convention. That would be suicide. Take that to the bank.

What say you?
