Do we finally have a solution?

Barack Obama's campaign said Thursday that evenly splitting Michigan's delegates with rival Hillary Rodham Clinton would be a fair way of resolving the dispute over how to handle the state at the Democratic National Convention.

Christopher Dodd, an Obama supporter, is behind that idea. Obama's name was not on the Michigan ballot, Clinton's was.

Finally! A resolution! Wait, what's that? What am I hearing through my non-existent ear piece?

The Clinton campaign immediately rejected the idea of splitting the delegates. "Michigan is populated by people, not numbers, and those people need to have their voices heard in this process," said Clinton spokesman Phil Singer.

Oh.

Democratic leaders in Michigan have said DNC rules require them to bar those who voted in the Republican primary from casting ballots in a do-over primary. But DNC spokswoman Stacie Paxton said Thursday that the party would consider waiving the rule because of Michigan's unique situation if the state requested it. [...]

Dodd said in his statement Monday that even though he left his name on the ballot, it's clear that the results of the Jan. 15 primary should not be used to apportion delegates.  The Democratic National Committee declined to comment on Dodd's proposal.

Sigh.
