In a press conference on Tuesday, Senators Steve Geller and Jeremy Ring floated a new plan which sounds familiar. (Michigan floated that concept in recent days.)

The plan would say 50% of Florida’s delegates would get awarded based on the Jan. 29th presidential primary vote. That means of the 105 delegates (of total 210); Sen. Clinton would get 63 delegates and Sen. Obama would get 42 delegates.

The other half of Florida’s delegates would be awarded not based on the Jan. 29th vote.
The options are for that half of the delegates to: split evenly by the two candidates; split as a proportional share based on total popular vote received nationally; split as a proportional share based on total delegate counts excluding Florida and Michigan.

"It’s simple," Ring

said. "whether you can look by vote-by-mail and primaries…..these were massive huge undertakings," Ring said. that plan means appealing to the candidates to figure out a plan for half of Florida’s delegates.

Update: It’s clear, already, there’s not consensus around that new plan. Sen. Ted Deutch and Nan Rich said that they would not support the new proposal just pitched, at that point, considering they’re not ready to "throw in the towel" just yet on not counting all Florida’s delegates based on the Jan. 29th vote. Deutch said that he additionally wants to keep the concept open of doing a revote. (That said, Sen. Jeremy Ring accuses Deutch and Rich of being supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton and therefore, biased.)
