Camp Obama is taking a conciliatory approach to the delegate-battle, signaling that it will accept some sort of solution to include Michigan and Florida that gives Clinton a delegate-count boost. With three contests remaining -- in Montana, South Dakota and Puerto Rico -- Obama leads by 197 delegates overall, according to the count maintained at Real Clear Politics.

"We don't think it's a helpful dynamic to create chaos," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told reporters on a call Wednesday. "And in the interst of party unity, we're encouraging our supporters not to protest."

Team Clinton is taking a more uncompromising approach to the delegate fight and making high-minded arguments that democratic principles require a full seating of the delegates in these two states whose primaries everyone knew going in wouldn't count for anything.
"This is an absolutely bedrock, fundamental principle," Clinton adviser Harold Ickes said on a conference call Wednesday, referring to apportionment of the delegates based on the popular vote.
