"I think we can reach a reasonable compromise."
Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer says something will be done about the Michigan delegate mess. Brewer is working with both candidates as well as national party leaders to come up with a solution.
"The DNC wants to uphold its rules, the two candidates want the nomination, and we want to make sure that we're participants," he said. "Any compromise that we reach will be necessary to have an agreement with all 3 of them."
Brewer won't go into details about the negotiations but did admit one option is a party-run caucus.
"The idea of a party-run primary, often called a caucus, has been mentioned and pushed by the DNC for months."
When or if that would take place is not yet known, though on thing is...
"If there is some kind of a new vote, anybody who participated in the republican primary would be barred."
That's okay with Michigan Republicans. Party Chairman Saul Anuzis says they have no plans to get Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton, a candidate some feel would be a lesser threat to John McCain. There aren't any plans to hold a redo of their own either.
"Considering there's no competition, there's no balloting, it makes no sense to do that," Anuzis said.
Anuzis and the party now turn their attention to the party's convention in September where they expect a full delegation.
"We fully expect to be seated now that McCain is the presumptive nominee."
Now, state Democrats have to scramble to catch up.
