A deal to allow delegates from Florida and Michigan to participate at the Democratic National Convention is unlikely before summer, party chief Howard Dean said today (Sunday) on ABC's "This Week."
A solution will have to wait until after the last contests in South Dakota and Montana on June 3, and after the remaining superdelegates have said which candidate they support.
"Dean also has urged the superdelegates- the nearly 800 elected and other Democratic officials who are to vote for whomever they choose- to take a position soon after the voting ends to avoid a convention fight. More than half the superdelegates have said which candidate they will support."

FL Delegation

In a separate talk on CBS, Dean said "Unless there is a dead heat, there's no reason to go to Denver, if the unpledged delegates will make their preferences clear and the voters will make their preferences clear."

It seems that the super delegates are guaranteed seats regardless of how the other delegates from FL and MI are treated.
Dean hopes that agreement will be reached before the Convention, so that there will be a crowning without a fight.
