A compromise Democratic Party decision tomorrow on how to allocate the Mich. and Fl. delegates will not be a setback for Clinton. On the contrary, it will give her the fodder she needs to continue her campaign.

"Suddenly, the candidates are all like Ponce de Leon," one Democratic activist said. "They've discovered Florida." Clinton supporters are underlining the state's significance for the general election.

Each passing day, I feel more wanted. It's my status as one of the remaining uncommitted superdelegates. I feel like a character in an ultimate reality game show entitled the Democratic Nomination.

The press conference was marked by sad Clintonian parsing. The primary is close, depending on how you define "close." Gas prices are a white issue. African-Americans, as a mass, are Obama's "passionate supporters."

Obama should call for the Florida and Michigan delegations to be seated at the convention -- not as a concession to the Clinton camp or because of pressure, but as a show of strength.
