Calling George Mitchell
Al Hunt, the executive editor of Bloomberg News here.in Washington, wrote on Monday that former Maine Sen. George Mitchell, a Democrat, should step in to resolve the dispute between the national Democratic Party and Florida and Michigan.
The party stripped the two states of their delegates because they held primaries too early. The candidates promised not to campaign in those states, but Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., remained on the ballot and won both states.
Hunt, the former bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal in Washington, covered Mitchell's graduation speech at Colby College in 1999 and earned an honorary doctorate there.
