Mulligans in Michigan and Florida

Michigan seems to be further along, with the Republicans in the state legislature being rather helpful.

The deal seems to be as follows: The state holds a new primary, and the Dems pay for it.

It's the right thing to do, both politically and morally, but I've learned never to trust a smiling Republican, and the Republicans seem awfully helpful right now, which implies that they have found a way to put a proverbial turd in the punch bowl.

Hopefully, this is just my cynicism.

Florida is far more unsettledwith the state Democratic party and Senator Nelson on one side, and the congressional delegation on the other.

My guess is that if MI gets its act together, so will Florida.

From a purely tactical perspective, the Obama campaign has to see any sort of "re-vote", even a caucus, as a losing proposition, since it adds about 300 delegates to the mix, and a large number of votes, probably a larger number than who voted in January.

Furthermore, the majority of those people will have already pulled the lever.
