It was also a cry of desperation, because the panel's ruling virtually ensured that the door was slamming on Clinton, who with three races to go now has little chance of overcoming Obama's lead. The meeting only went downhill from there, with committee co-chair Alexis...
...Instead, the panel's lunch turned into a three-hour closed-door session, during which the members finally agreed on a compromise - though it was basically the position taken by the Obama campaign, not to mention the one Republicans smartly came up with for their side long before the disputed primaries took place: seat both delegations but grant each only half a vote per delegate as a penalty.

The hospitals and facilities you signed up for originally might suddenly be replaced by facilities that are - you guessed it - cheaper. While your premium (and the CEO's bonus) goes up, the dollar value of what you're getting - i.e., what the company will...
...bill that Patrick filed last year, the bulk of the $1 billion was to be appropriated by a panel comprising academics and industry experts. But the two versions of the bill that have been winding through the House and Senate have already tied down virtually all of the $500 million that is devoted to capital projects...
