Members of a Democratic rules committee voted on Saturday to seat all of Florida's delegation to the party's national convention and give its delegates a half vote each.

Members of the Democrats' rules committee discuss the delegate issue Saturday.

The first vote, which would have seated all of Florida's delegation with full voting privileges, failed.

After the results were announced, spectators started to boo and his and some started chanting, "Denver! Denver!" the site of the party's convention in August.

Democrats fear that a protracted battle over the issue all the way to the convention could split the party and weaken it's chances of winning the White House in November.
