The Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting is getting fairly raucous. When the motion to fully seat Florida’s delegation failed, the crowd started shouting: “Denver! Denver! Denver!” The debate is being constantly interrupted by heckling. But Alice Munro, speaking in the debate over giving the Florida delegates half-votes, called for unity.
