I mean, how could the party, after the fact, when only one candidate did ANYTHING in those two states, come back and say, "You know? Gee. Let's have those utterly bogus contests count for something." They're tainted results from the get-go because only one young go-getter broke her promise not to campaign there. There'd be blood in the scuppers if they tried it.

Its not resolved at all. Both the DNC and the FL/MI state parties are exploring options while at the same time sticking to their earlier decisions. No one on either side wants those two states to be disenfranchised at the convention.
The latest possibility thats been floated by the DNC would be for FL and MI to hold caucuses sometime next month.

The Democratic National Committee is pressuring Michigan and Florida to hold presidential caucuses so the delegates they lost for holding January primaries could be seated at the national convention, a top Michigan Democrat said Wednesday.
DNC member Debbie Dingell of Michigan said it's unclear whether either state would hold caucuses since they've already held primaries, Michigan on Jan. 15and Florida on Jan. 29. She said the DNC is asking the states to consider such a plan....

In any case, if they cant come up with something that is agreeable to both the DNC and FL/MI, then the final decision wont be made until the convention, where the full body will need to ratify the decision to exclude the FL/MI delegations, or not.
