Clinton supporter challenges DNC over Mich.
A top supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton has filed a challenge with the Democratic National Committee to try to seat Michigan's pledged delegates — most of them likely to support the New York senator — at the national convention in Denver.

Under DNC member Joel Ferguson's proposal, Michigan would send its 28 unpledged superdelegates and 128 pledged delegates to Denver despite being stripped of delegates for holding its primary too early. Florida was similarly punished for its early primary.

Ferguson said it would be fair punishment to give each pledged delegate only half a vote for breaking DNC rules. He said superdelegates — of which he is one — should get a full vote.AP/MSNBC

1. I can't imagine this succeeds
which isn't to say the Clinton camp won't try 100% to do so.

2. I just think it's amazing that he's a DNC member and
he's decided to sue the DNC. The internecine warfare in that organization right now much be unbelievable.
