WASHINGTON (AP) — A Michigan congresswoman said Friday that the state's Democrats are working on plans for a June 3 primary that would give them a say in the tight presidential nomination race between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick said the primary would be statewide and would be funded through party money. She is one of four Democrats who are not endorsing either candidate who are working together on a plan for a repeat primary.

Clinton won a primary the state held in January, but Obama's name wasn't on the ballot. He had it removed because the primary was held too early to comply with national party rules, meaning no delegates were at stake.

Florida also had its delegates stripped for holding a primary in January. The Florida Democratic Party offered a plan for a mail-in primary Thursday, but admitted it didn't have a good chance of being approved. Kilpatrick said the mail-in approach wouldn't work in Michigan.

2. It would sure work for me

I didn't bother getting an absentee ballot for the fake primary, and I somehow doubt they'll have them for this one. Democracy is important to me, but so is quality of life - I'm not going to pay $1,000 just so I can vote in a primary election. I'm pissed. Super pissed. And what will happen to all of the Democrats who voted in the Republican primary, just because they wanted to have SOME say in who our next president will be? Will they get to vote again?

Fuckin' Mark Brewer and Granholm..... what a bunch of scum. I want their asses out on the street.

4. I live in the UK on a student visa

So, to get a ticket to fly back for just a few days would be give/take a grand.
