Florida Dems: We're closing in on deal to seat delegation

Florida Democrats say they're on the verge of finishing a
plan to have the state's delegates counted toward the
party's presidential nomination.
Thursday's news comes after Michigan Democrats came up with
their own plan. The Democratic National Committee stripped both
states of their convention delegates for holding their primaries
too early in violation of party rules.
State party spokesman Mark Bubriski told The Associated Press
that Florida officials have been talking with campaign
representatives of Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton
about recognizing all, or part, of Florida's 211 delegates.
Clinton is trailing Obama in the race for the nomination and is
seeking to close the gap with delegates from Florida and
Michigan.
