So please don't believe the spin when the Clinton campaign cries about Michigan. Keep in mind the actual results Clinton is holding out for (55% Clinton-45% uncommitted) with the specific districts factored in would give her a 73-55 delegate split. So all of this over an 8 delegate swing.
I am pretty sure Obama's campaign is going to force this compromise purely out of spite at this point, because the 18 delegates don't matter at this point.
Quoted: Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday rejected a compromise plan to seat Michigan's delegates to the national convention that would give 69 delegates to Clinton and 59 to Barack Obama.

The truth finally surfaces and my suspicions are confirmed. Its too bad, I wanted to see the third act.
Quoted: The McCain Girls, whose videos exposed several hidden truths--including the fact that "McCain" rhymes with "Rain"--have come clean: It was all a joke. In other words, they meant to do that. According to The New York Times, the humor web site 23/6 (the same folks who brought us the butt-kickin' Swift Kids for Truth) hired Jon Benjamin to produce both McCain Girls videos--"Raining McCain" & "Here Comes McCain Again"--in order to make fun of the campaign song phenomenon.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama reportedly picked nearly $3 million in donations over the last 24 hours, putting him on pace to raise another $30 million in the month of February.
Not only that but financial analysts say that thus far Obama has received the max donation of $2,300 from just 3% of his voters, and that more than half of his donations have come in sums of $200 or less. More than half of Clinton's donors have contributed their $2,300, and just 14% of her donations have come in sums of $200 or less.
Quoted: Sen. Hillary Clinton dipped into her own finances ahead of this week's Super Tuesday contests, lending her Democratic presidential campaign $5 million in late January, she disclosed Wednesday. In another development, some senior members of Clinton's campaign staff have agreed to go without pay for a month, CNN has confirmed.
