Florida Democrats voted 50 percent for Clinton and 33 percent for Obama. In Michigan, Clinton got 55 percent of the vote, and 40 percent of Democrats voted for an uncommitted slate.

Supporters of US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D-NY) gather outside the Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting in Washington May 31, 2008. The Democratic Party will search for a compromise over disputed convention delegates from Florida and Michigan on Saturday in what could be Hillary Clinton's last chance to gain ground on presidential rival Barack Obama.
