ABC News' Teddy Davis and Talal Al-Khatib Report: Sen. Hillary Clinton's, D-N.Y., path to the Democratic presidential nomination grew tougher on Thursday as Michigan's Legislature adjourned without approving a re-vote.
"What I can tell you is that the idea of a state-run, privately funded primary is dead," said Liz Boyd, a spokeswoman for Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm who is supporting Clinton.
The former first lady was hoping to find support for a privately-financed, state-run primary because the state's governor and legislative leaders had ruled out the possibility of using state taxpayer money to hold a second Democratic primary.
