LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Democratic National Committee is
pressuring Michigan and Florida to hold presidential caucuses so
the delegates they lost for holding January primaries could be
seated at the national convention.
DNC member Debbie Dingell of Michigan says it's unclear whether
either state would hold caucuses since they've already held
primaries. She said the DNC is asking the states to consider such a
plan.
Florida Democratic Party spokesman Mark Bubriski said the party
has no intention of holding another election.
Michigan Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer said the DNC isn't
saying anything it hasn't said before to Michigan and Florida.
