Florida/Michigan: It's not Happening.

"We researched every potential alternative process -- from caucuses to county conventions to mail-in elections -- but no plan could come anywhere close to being viable in Florida." Florida announce it won't do a do-over, and Michigan looks headed the same way. On one hand, this means Senator Clinton can continue to try to spin the beauty contest results as definitive, as I'm sure she will. Given her campaign's reliance on a strategy of continued uncertainty, however, the closing of doors in Michigan and Florida is likely bad news for her (particularly when Clinton's top Michigan surrogates are arguing that a re-vote "wouldn't make much difference" anyway.) Update: The Michigan do-over is pronounced dead.
