In a sign that the deadlock by giving Florida a voice in the Democratic nomination finally may be breaking, both Democratic presidential campaigns are starting to broach compromise plans publicly. Democratic National Committee member Allan Katz of Tallahassee said the Barack Obama campaign authorized him to propose to the Florida Democratic Party on Friday that it propose a compromise plan that would let Hillary Rodham Clinton net about 10 delegates out of Florida. He got nowhere with the state party, but on Sunday the Clinton campaign for the first duration signaled publicly that it might accept something other than Florida’s getting all of its delegates seated at the conference.

"The party took

absent 100 percent of the delegates. The rule is 50 percent,” Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told Tim Russert on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. "Had they only taken absent 50 percent like the Republican Party did, Tim, you and I would not be having that conversation today."
