One thing worth noting: The campaigns' positions on the expected protests before the Rules and Bylaws Committee. On the Obama call, campaign manager David Plouffe confirmed that Obama's camp is not encouraging supporters to show up and protest, drawing an implicit contrast between the Obama and Hillary camps.
"We are not encouraging our people to gather in protest on Saturday," Plouffe said. "Obviously with the click of a mouse it would be pretty easy for us to get thousands of people there." He added that they weren't doing that "in the interest of party unity."
Meanwhile, on the Hillary call, Hillary top strategist Howard Wolfson, asked about the protests being organized by Hillary supporters, said his campaign wasn't behind them but again invoked the 2000 Florida recount debacle.
"This is not something that the campaign is organizing," Wolfson said, "but it is in fact something that people in Florida feel very strongly about. Given what happened in Florida in 2000 it's understandable that people feel very strongly."
