Michigan Public Radio is reporting that MDP and DNC have reached an agreement to hold a new 'contest' to allow the seating of the Michigan delegation to the Democratic National Convention.
There are no details yet (will update this when there are). This must be what we in Michigan call a 'caucus', but is in reality just an election held by the party instead of the regular civil election machinery.
This is great news for those of us in Michigan who have been hoping we would reach a compromise.
2nd Update: ARRRGGHHHH!!
ANN ARBOR (2008-03-05)
A CORRECTION:
MICHIGAN RADIO INCORRECTLY REPORTED WEDNESDAY EVENING THAT A DEAL HAD BEEN REACHED TO HOLD A NEW DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING CONTEST.
NO DEAL IS IN PLACE, THOUGH STATE & NATIONAL PARTY LEADERS, AS WELL AS THE CLINTON AND OBAMA CAMPAIGNS CONTINUE TO DISCUSS THEIR OPTIONS.
WE SINCERELY REGRET THE ERROR.
