The incredibly messy issue of the Florida and Michigan Democratic primaries continues to be fought over, with detailed plans now being put forth by Florida Democrats.

Florida Democrats, searching for a way out of their mess of a presidential contest, unveiled a detailed plan yesterday for rerunning the state's primary election by mail. There was one big problem: Hardly anyone who mattered liked the idea.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton rejected it - one of the few things the candidates have agreed on lately. Florida's entire House Democratic delegation panned it. Even the plan's architect - Karen Thurman, the state party chairwoman - acknowledged there were enormous obstacles to carrying it out.

good stuff:

Dave Keating, I like this story. It's good stuff. Thanks for opening a thread on the Florida Primaries. I was working on will there be or not be a Florida Primary after conflicting reports from First Coast News in Jacksonville Fl and WFOR 4 in Miami Florida.
