Michigan Re-Do Looks Dead


March 19th, 2008

Ben Smith reports from an inside source that a proposed re-do of the Michigan primary is DOA. From the article:

The Senate Dems just had a long caucus meeting following their long phone call with the Gang of Four [as Carl Levin and others pushing a re-vote are called], and the result is that no one moved. Votes aren’t there. Thus, it will not go to a vote in the Senate. And barring some other last minute miracle that doesn’t involve those four, the governor and Hillary traveling to Michigan, it is dead as a doornail.

UPDATE: State Sen. Tupac Hunter, an Obama supporter, confirms the outcome of today’s meeting.

Clinton was on her way to Michigan to push for a re-do before this news and reporters were the Obama camp wasn’t willing to embrace it. Now it seems, like in Florida, there will be no re-vote.
