The lovely cut-n-paste above includes:

the chairman's promise to work to seat Florida's delegation was a breakthrough

That is, I suppose, something worth noting, but hardly represents a "decision point" and isn't much of a surprise.

The DNC has a fairly specifically defined structure assigning the validation of delegates to a committee that will have to make the final decisions. The DNC Chairman can make his own recommendations, and can negotiate with others in advance of the Convention to present a "joint recommendation" that likely will have some considerable influence; but the final decisions probably remain - and will remain until the Convention is convened - with a committee whose membership hasn't even been announced (or even much speculated on).

The party's rules of order place some extremely "inconvenient" restrictions on how things are to be done, separately in the two cases in question; and these may inhibit "doing what's right" - for almost any opinion on righteousness, truth, purity of thought, legality, justice, and all the other cliches available for use by the media.

I'm sure the media will use them all before the arguments subside, and before much of anything is settled.

I appreciate the intent to inform us, and the information is noted. Perhaps it shook the earth elsewhere, but I didn't feel even a wiggle in my neighborhood. I presume that appropriate warnings will be forthcoming for coastal areas in case of a possible tsunami?
