BERRIEN CO. — Few primaries are left, and the Democratic presidential race is still too close to call. Michigan and Florida delegates could decide the winner. That's why Gov. Jennifer Granholm and local Democrats are pushing to have Michigan delegates seated at this summer's convention.

Barack Obama is leading Hillary Clinton by 62 delegates. Florida and Michigan's 313 would tip the scale in Clinton's favor.

The DNC has told Florida and Michigan to hold new primaries or caucuses at their own expense, so their delegates can be seated. Granholm and local Democrats are leaning towards a caucus, which would save the state $10 million.

A caucus or primary would give both candidates the opportunity to campaign and appear on the ballot.

"Now, we are going to have a voice in the nominee. Before we would have had no voice because in years past, it's been settled before," said Jess Minks of the South County Democratic Club.

But that voice won't come cheap. January's primary cost Michigan $10 million.

"If there is a new primary, it will cost as much as last winter's primary, perhaps more, given I think you will have a high turnout," said Mark Brewer of Michigan's Democratic party. "I don't think the state can afford it because of the financial situation."

So, leaders are leaning towards a caucus, which would cost local Democratic parties $2 to $4 million.

"We'll start talking to folks asking for that $2, $3 donation. We'll do a fundraiser. We'll do what we have to do," said Minks said.

In the midst of uncertainty, one thing is for sure: It won't be done at taxpayer expense.

"They've already paid for an election. We are not going to ask taxpayers to do that again," said Granholm.

The primary or caucus would be held in early June. Even Clinton, who won the January primary, wants it. Her campaign believes she would get more votes, giving her more delegates.

If the state decides to hold a caucus, people won't get shuffled from room to room. They would get ballots and vote in private booths, like a primary. A candidate would have to get 15 percent of the vote to be awarded delegates.
