When I wrote about this on the 10th, I called it an ugly stalemate. The Democratic party seemed to have decided that “we can’t do anything without the agreement of both the campaigns”, and both the campaigns were clearly never going to agree.
At this point, Florida seems to have pulled the plug on the effort to hold some kind of re-vote:
Florida Democrats, who had already closed the door on holding a full-scale conventional election or a caucus, scrapped the controversial vote-by-mail primary they had proposed less than a week ago as their best option, saying it just isn’t possible.
“While your reasons vary widely, the consensus is clear: Florida doesn’t want to vote again. So we won’t,†Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman said late Monday in a letter to Florida Democrats.
Michigan has a plan, but it’s not clear it’s going to be able to fly:
Michigan Democratic party leaders on Monday proposed legislation to conduct a new primary on June 3 to allocate the state’s 156 delegates. The election would be run by the state but be privately financed.
Mrs. Clinton, of New York, has agreed to the plan; aides to Mr. Obama, of Illinois, have refused to commit to it. It is more uncertain than ever that he will: The party’s rules may disqualify anyone who voted in Michigan’s Republican primary from voting in the Democratic primary — including those who may be Obama supporters who voted Republican because his name was not on the Democratic ballot.
Michigan Democratic officials said the plan for a revote could not move forward unless both campaigns agreed to the proposal in the next day or so.
