Depriving the supers of FL and MI of their votes at the convention seems like a sensible solution to a thorny problem. It punishes the people in charge of breaking the party rules without disenfranchising the popular vote.
There remains the problem of how you divvy up the pledged delegates fairly but some deal like the %69/59 split (probably more compromise needed in terms of numbers there) could work.
And since I missed the Veep Stakes discussion by a couple of days - and it is still relevant here- I'm really loving the idea of Obama running with Kathleen Sebelius. Don't you think she is someone Clinton could get behind while saving face? A woman with a lot to bring to the ticket - western state- two term governor who has the exec experiences both senators lack.
Her endorsement speech is interesting for the perspective it brings (she was convinced by her sons). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nHp90Z2NJk
They seem temperamentally simpatico and though its only quick hug seem to have a chemistry I can't see developing between Obama and Clinton if they shared a ticket after the rancorous primary.
