Via the AP: Michigan do-over vote looks unlikely

The Michigan Senate adjourned Thursday without taking up a bill for a June 3 repeat primary. While there still is a possibility a last-minute deal can be reached, lawmakers’ lack of enthusiasm for a second election paid for by private donors means that’s unlikely.

Meanwhile, I actually find this rather amusing (although not surprising):

Barack Obama’s campaign said Thursday that evenly splitting Michigan’s delegates with rival Hillary Rodham Clinton would be a fair way to distribute them, now that the chances of a do-over primary are essentially dead.

Well, of course they find that the fairest way, as it really doesn’t do anything to the status quo (except let the MI delegates participate). The relative numbers, however, would stay the same.
