Legislature adjourns Thursday without taking any action, leaving do-over prospects "dim."

Clinton camp blames it on Obama: "When it comes to the Michigan and Florida primaries, Senator Obama seems to only be capable of saying no..." Full statement here.

Obama camp response: "We support a fair solution that allows Michigan Democrats to participate at our National Convention this summer." Full statement here.

Sen. Levin says: "We will continue to work with all interested parties to seek a way to ensure that Michigan's delegates are seated at the Democratic National Convention."

Earlier: DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee co-chair tells Boston Globe there's no chance they'll approve states' delegates without a re-do if it could tip outcome of the race.

Leaves both states searching for solutions that don't involve new votes or counting the January votes.
