Clinton supporters have pledged to gather outside the meeting, where party bigs will decide whether, and how many Florida and Michigan delegates are seated at the convention in August. “We look forward to the meeting proceeding smoothly,” reads an Obama campaign memo. “We’re asking our supporters not to show up to demonstrate, passionately as they feel about this campaign.” Inside the meeting is sure to be packed. Seats were snapped up within a minute of going online, according to the DNC’s website. Read These Next An 11-year-old girl gave birth at home. The story gets worse.
