This is easy - Clinton should get Senate Majority leader and VP veto rights.
The DNC is solely responsible for the rift with/about MI and FL voters. This fiasco was arrogance on the DNC’s part. If it had been corrected in a timely manner the voters in those states could have gotten their voices heard without all the fighting over if they could effect the nomination outcome. IA, NH and SC broke the exact same rule; they voted early… without getting sanctioned!
At this point Obama needs to seat MI and FL exactly as the votes were, counting the MI undecided as his. This will not give Clinton what she needs to win but will avoid losing voters. They may not go out and vote for McCain but they could just stay home on Nov 7th.
The DNC has made some major mistakes. Dean and company seem to think that they won congress. The Republicans GAVE them congress. There is a huge difference. A November win is not guaranteed. Obama seems to be ignoring the general election campaigning in favor of just winning the nomination campaigning. While he’ll have a few months to switch gears, all his “scandals” have been a slow switch from IL style politics to national politics. Keeping an eye on winning in November was something Clinton has always done. Obama needs to realize this is part of why he's had so much trouble closing the deal. I'm sure Clinton is getting ready to win in 2012 if Obama loses in November.
