Heading into a lunch break, the Obama and Clinton camps are sparring over what is and isn't a concession in their sparring over Florida delegates. 

The Obama camp says it's making a concession when it agrees to allowing Florida half its delegate votes. That would give Clinton a net gain of 19 delegates, up from the zero delegates she gets under the current rules.

"An extraordinary concession," says Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida, an Obama man.

"A concession? Give me a break," counters Clinton man Harold Ickes in the hallway outside the party meeting.

He argues from the standpoint that Clinton has a net gain of 38 delegates in Florida. "Hillary Clinton loses delegates."

But Clinton doesn't have any Florida delegates now, let alone an edge of 38. Florida was stripped of all of its delegates.

Score it for Obama. Clinton can't lose delegates she doesn't have. 

This from the Huffington Post:

Two sources, including a high-ranking official with the Florida delegation, have confirmed that the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee reached an agreement last night and will seat the state's entire delegation but give each delegate half a vote. The result would be a net gain of 19 delegates for Sen. Hillary Clinton, though no word yet on how the superdelegates from the state will be allocated. It is, the official says, a compromise that Sen. Barack Obama will be willing to make. "There will be theater but not much fight."

Barack Obama will end the five-month primary campaign Tuesday night at the site where the Republican National Convention will be held.

He and his wife will hold a rally at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, symbolic staging apparently meant to signal that Obama will take the battle to the Republicans should he be the Democratic nominee.

It's also a signal that he thinks he has the nomination wrapped up, turning his back on the two pirmary states that vote Tuesday, Montana and South Dakota, and focusing instead on Minnesota, a general election battlefield state.

Susie Buell of San Francisco voted for Hillary Clinton in the California primary. Her vote is counted, the delegates for Clinton guaranteed seats when the Democratic National Convention opens in Denver in August.

But she couldn't stay home when she heard the Democrats would debate whether to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan.

"We want every vote in America counted," Buell said, standing outside DC's Marriott Wardman Park hotel with hundreds of fellow protestors.

Amy Rao of Palo Alto likened it to what happened in 2000, when Democrats claim that Florida did not count all the votes for Al Gore and threw the election to George Bush.

"We will not let that happen again," Rao said.

Her California group all wore T shirts declaring, "We spoke loud and clear. Our voices must be heard."

Among other signs:

"Voting rights = civil rights."

"Woman Arise. Stop the Bias!"

The Rules and Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee starts its meeting at 930 am EDT.

Hundreds of people - most of them women and virtually all of them Hillary supporters - are protesting outside the hotel where the Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet to decide the fate of convention delegates from Florida and Michigan.

""We voted. We want out votes counted," said Janet W. Larson, a Democrat from Jacksonville.

She was one of more than 100 Democrats from the Jacksonville area who rode two buses to Washington, arriivng about 1 am after a 12-hour ride. They're waving signs proclaiming, "We spoke loud and clear. Our voices must be heard."

She said she knew that Florida's primary violated party rules because it was too early. But she said Florida voters shouldn't be penalized.

"It's the politicians who did this," she said. "Not the voters."
