Primary Update

Saturday's long-awaited meeting of the Democratic Party's rules and bylaws Committee, and Puerto Rico's Primary provided a bit more clarity in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the election in Puerto Rico, and the panel voted to seat disputed delegations from Michigan and Florida, but to give each delegate only one-half vote rather than the full vote sought by the Clinton campaign. In the end, Barack Obama is now only 47 short of the 2,118 needed to clinch the nomination. Larry Mantle talks with Los Angeles Times reporters Mark Barabak and Peter Nicholas about the recent developments in the race, and about what we can expect next.
