Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano sparred on national television today as surrogates for their presidential candidates, but they found common ground on one issue: The question of seating Michigan and Florida delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be resolved long before the party’s late August pow-wow in Denver.

Granholm, a supporter of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Napolitano, who backs Illinois Sen. Barack Obama said on CBS-TV’s "Face the Nation" this morning the Democratic Party won’t risk alienating Michigan and Florida voters heading into a tough race in the general election against the presumptive Republican nominee Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Michigan and Florida have been stripped of their delegates to the convention because the two voter-rich states bucked party rules by holding early primaries. It’s an open question whether those states’ delegates will be seated come August.

"I don’t think we’ll have a fight at the convention," Granholm said. "Nobody wants to alienate the voters of Michigan and Florida. It will be settled before then."

Lets hope so, its the only fair way. All States should count.

    Hillary is losing so now she wants them seated….she didn’t say anything about it before, when she was winning….but now that she has lost 11 states…now she wants them seated……
    and the rules was that they wouldn’t be seated and Hillary knew that 11 states ago…and if granholm breaks the rules for Hillary that would be such a shame….but for me i know that they want be seated……and if they are they still want help her………..
    p.s Hillary fans get over it…..its a wrap….find something else to do with your time…..like support obama………
