The idea of a re-vote through mail ballots is gaining traction and its seems reasonable to me. The voters in those states should not be disenfranchised by the acts of the state Dem party.

The campaigns would front the cost and ultimately bill back the state parties. There would be no cost to the taxpayers.

Hilary is still claiming that she is better positioned than Obama to beat McCain in the four states - FL, MI, OH, PA - three of which are needed for an electoral vote victory. The fact that Obama has not won a large industrial state gives her some credibility.

FL, with the large senior pop (Clinton's base) would be hard for Obama and the same goes with MI, with its large blue collar base. These groups have not been a large part of the Obama coalition.

But then again, both should be able to beat McCain on economic issues.
