The head of Florida's Democratic Party said Thursday the proposed vote-by-mail presidential primary is unlikely to go forward because of strong opposition and concerns about conducting the vote.
[Karen]Thurman will review comments from Democratic leaders and make a decision by Monday on whether to proceed with the re-vote. But she acknowledged that Obama has had concerns and the Democratic National Committee won't support a proposal unless both candidates also back it. She said there's a serious question over whether the state could legally verify the signatures of a privately run election. "If this becomes something that we can't do, then we can't do it," Thurman said.
One added note: This is not an open thread. Comments not related to the revote and Florida primary will be deleted.

A plan to raise soft money to pay for a second Florida Democratic primary--this one by mail--seems close to approval, according to Sen. Bill Nelson.
I hope it fails and the Florida delegates from the Jan. 29 vote are seated. Big Tent Democrat favors a revote.
We've all weighed in on this numerous times, but once more won't hurt.
