LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan Democrats officially have declared they won't hold a do-over presidential primary.
Members of the state party's executive committee issued a statement Friday saying "we have concluded that it is not practical" to conduct a party-run primary or caucus as a way to get the state's Democratic National Convention delegates seated.
Michigan and Florida were stripped of their convention delegates for moving up their primaries in defiance of party rules.
Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton won the Jan. 15 Michigan primary. Rival Barack Obama had pulled his name from the ballot.
State Democrats now hope the two campaigns can agree on a way to split Michigan's pledged delegates so they can be seated at the Aug. 25-28 convention.
