Florida and Michigan

Michael Tomasky has an informative and intriguing piece in the New York Review about how a fight over the Florida and Michigan could delegates could play out in the event of a race that goes down to the wire.  I was sort of hoping that none of it would matter, but this morning it's seeming very important.  For what it's worth, according to Tomasky, the political leaders in both states are not interested in rerunning their elections, and are confident they won't have to.  That could change, of course, but it seems to me that a settlement of some sort, in fairly short order, is the way to go.
