At the Rules Committee, Clinton surrogate Lanny Davis heckled Florida's Democratic leaders

While we're waiting for the Rules Committee to reconvene -- and they're already almost an hour late, here's a little color from today's meeting. Almost all of the Clinton spin crew was on hand at the Marriott -- including Lanny Davis.

As I mentioned in the post below, leading Florida Democrats held a press conference in the lobby outside of the meeting room to talk about a possible compromise. It was a pretty big deal -- and that's big news if there's a deal. While the Florida Democrats were talking, Lanny Davis was standing at the edge of the crowd heckling.

Not kidding. Jake Tapper saw it, too:

Clinton campaign surrogate Lanny Davis stood outside the circle and interrupted, raising his voice in protest that the Clinton campaign had agreed to anything less than a 100% seating of the delegates at 100% of their strength.

Nelson noted that he was speaking "on behalf of the voters of Florida," not on behalf of the Clinton campaign.

"They're misrepresenting our stance," Davis said repeatedly.
I was there and captured some video of Davis in action:
