PRIMARY SCRAMBLE LANSING, MICH. (AP) (wgvu) - MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS ARE CLOSE TO A DEAL
WITH HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA TO HOLD A PRIVATELY FINANCED
DO-OVER PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
AFTER TALKS YESTERDAY, PARTY LEADERS SAID THEY'RE HOPEFUL AN
AGREEMENT CAN BE REACHED TODAY.
THE POLITICALLY DIVIDED MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE TO SIGN
OFF ON ANY DEAL AND APPROVE HOW TO SPEND THE PRIVATELY RAISED FUNDS
FOR A NEW ELECTION.
THE CONTEST MUST BE HELD BY JUNE 10TH FOR THE RESULTS TO COUNT.
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY PUNISHED MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA FOR
MOVING UP THEIR PRIMARIES BEFORE FEBRUARY 5TH BY STRIPPING THEM OF
ALL THEIR DELEGATES.
