Bill Clinton said, at a private fundraiser, recently that the only probably solution – the only option – for the problem with the Michigan and Florida delegates is ‘to seat half a delegate for each delegate in the disputed primary states.’ You can listen to the audio below.

What’s sad about the audio / video is that it’s cut off in the middle of a sentence. One gets the impression that Clinton didn’t quite stop here. Perhaps he added something like “that’s the only option that will sound reasonable to most people, but it’s far from perfect.”
Or not. No one knows, which is why I’d like to listen to the entire audio.
As it is, though, it seems that the Hillary Clinton campaign understands that it’s practically impossible for them to convince the DNC and the Obama campaign (but I’m repeating myself) to seat all the delegates and give them full votes. This video severely weakens Clinton’s negotiation position.
For the umptiest time this election, Bill doesn’t do his wife any favors.
