Michigan Postpones Delegate Selection

"Acknowledging that Michigan's delegate selection mess is unlikely to be resolved in the coming week, the state Democratic Party decided to postpone its congressional district conventions," reports the Detroit News.

"The state party's executive committee late Friday postponed the conventions until April 19." However, it "remains to be seen whether the delegate picture will be any clearer by then."

After an effort to stage a re-vote failed, that leaves "as the only choices for seating delegates: Accepting a negotiated split of delegates; hoping a candidate emerges who will lift the party's ban on the seating of the delegates; or pursuing a long-shot appeal of party rules."
