LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Democratic leaders are getting ready to decide how they want to appeal to the Democratic National Committee to seat their national convention delegates. The state Democratic Party’s 80-member executive committee plans to hold a conference call Wednesday night to discuss the options.

Under one plan, Michigan’s pledged delegates would be split 69-59 between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

The other proposal would give 73 pledged delegates to Clinton and 55 to Obama, based on the Jan. 15 primary results. The state’s 28 superdelegates would get a full vote at the convention, but the pledged delegates would get only half a vote.

The DNC stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates for holding primaries before Feb. 5.
