If the Clinton camp believed that a 50% strip of votes is fair, why don't you?

The Clinton camp has argued consistently for months now that Michigan and Florida should be seated. But to what degree has varied of late. Terry McAuliffe told NBC's Tim Russert on Meet the Press May 11 that the campaign "certainly might" accept giving Michigan and Florida half votes, which he claimed DNC rules called for. As DNC chairman, McAuliffe wrote about threatening to strip Michigan of 50% of its delegates if it moved up its date. Bill Clinton has also called a 50% penalty "appropriate."
