DNC panel hears testimony on Michigan, Florida primaries dilemma

WASHINGTON (CNN) - After nearly six hours of testimony on Saturday, the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws committee broke to have lunch and ponder dueling ideas on how to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan.

The rules committee is addressing two main issues - how many delegates each state is allowed and how those delegates will be allocated between the two candidates.

Supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who came out ahead in both votes despite the fact the states had been penalized for moving their primaries earlier in the season, pushed the committee to give each delegate a full vote and to count the election results as they were registered.

Obama backers testifying before the committee also called for all delegates to be seated, but were pushing for a more equitable split of the delegates - noting that Obama's name didn't even appear on Michigan's ballot and that no candidates campaigned in Florida, giving the more well-known Clinton an edge.
