It's a 7th inning stretch of sorts, before the next April democratic primary in Pennsylvania. But the rush for Michigan Democrats to negotiate a state-run primary do-over is just beginning.
"There are a number of different people that have to sign off on this before it takes place, but again the key issue is to have Michigan's voice heard in this process," said Chris DeWitt, a Clinton Campaign spokesman.
But DeWitt says a 50/50 delegate split or a proportional delegate split still wouldn't give a fair voice for Michigan's voters.
" It should be the people that have the ultimate say in this process," DeWitt said.
Sen. Clinton is already backing the plan that requires approval from both campaigns the Democratic National Committee, Governor Granholm and the legislature.
Michigan Democrats are eying June 3 as the date to hold a privately funded do-over, but Ingham County Clerk Mike Bryanton says a May 6 school board election in areas like Delhi Township, Haslett and Okemos wouldn't give his office the 60-day-window of time needed to prepare for an additional election just a month later.
"That would mean that in 30 days we would have to hold another state-wide election, we would not have time," Bryanton said.
Bryanton says ballot training and election inspector training all takes time, but Dewitt says it's a chance for Michigan to get the notoriety it was looking for.
"The issue of the relevance of Michigan in this process and Florida for that matter will certainly go up," DeWitt said.
