Michigan, Florida get half votes to Democrats' national convention

WASHINGTON -- Michigan's full slate of delegates will attend the Democratic National Convention, with a half vote each, under a decision by a party rules committee Saturday that prompted catcalls from Sen. Hillary Clinton's supporters and a pledge by her campaign to contest the decision.
The decision adopted much of the proposal from the Michigan Democratic Party to resolve the month-long debate over the state's Jan. 15 primary. The measure partially recognizes the results of that primary, which Clinton won, but in which Sen. Barack Obama removed his name from the ballot.
The committee also docked Florida half of its delegates. Both states are being punished for holding their primaries earlier than the national party allowed.
