Washington - It now looks as if Howard Dean, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has changed his mind about not allowing delegates from Florida to participate in this year's Democratic National Convention. In a meeting yesterday in Washington, D.C., he said that while details must still be worked out, Florida's delegates would have a place at the convention and hotel rooms have been reserved for them.
Dean had previously indicated the party would not seat delegates from Florida because the state had held its Presidential Preference Primary earlier than party leaders wanted. Such a refusal would have, effectively, ignored the votes of 1.7 million Florida voters, including more than 8,000 from Jackson County.
State Party Chair Karen Thurman, who flew to Washington on Tuesday to meet with Dean, called the announcement "a breakthrough."
