Hillary Clinton campaign advisers, speaking with reporters today about the seating of the Michigan and Florida delegations at the Democratic National Convention, stated that they will be strongly pursuing the 55 "uncommitted" pledged delegates from Michigan on top of the delegates that could already be slated for Clinton based on the popular votes she received there.

Whether or not they will get that chance is still unclear. The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet May 31 to decide if and how the states' delegations will be seated.

"Anyone who is officially uncommitted at this point is going to get an awful lot of attention from both campaigns," said communications director Howard Wolfson.

The Clinton campaign is requesting that the bylaws committee seat both delegations fully, giving each delegate a full vote, as opposed to a plan mirroring the Republicans' penalty of halving the delegations of states that moved up their primaries, or the Democrats Abroad delegation that receives a half-vote each. They also clearly do not want Obama to automatically receive the uncommitted delegates from Michigan.

"With respect to Michigan, it is our view that the uncommitted delegates, of which there are 55, should be seated as uncommitted delegates," said Clinton senior adviser Harold Ickes. "It is presumptuous to assume that each and every one of those delegates is an Obama supporter. That will be up to those individual delegates to make those decisions. And it will be up to the respective campaigns to make their cases to those delegates."

Ickes was also questioned about his role in the penalizing of Michigan and Florida. Ickes, as a member of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, voted in August to strip the two states of their delegates. Now, as a member of the Clinton campaign, Ickes maintains that a strong lesson has been learned by the states, but that it is time to move on with an eye toward the ramifications in the general election if those states are not seated.
