FLORIDA - The race for the Democratic nomination for president is still neck-and-neck between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Now Florida could be back in a position to decide who ends up on the November ballot.

Florida's delegates don't count toward the total needed for the Democratic nomination because the state moved up its primary in violation of party rules. But now Florida's Republican governor, who pushed for the earlier primary, is calling for the Democratic party to change its mind.

"It's unconscionable to me, that some party boss in Washington is not going to permit the people to be heard," said Gov. Charlie Crist. He's calling on national Democratic leaders to allow the voices of Florida voters to count at the convention. But national Democrats say the earlier January primary violated party rules. As a result, the candidates never campaigned here, and some say using those results wouldn't be fair.

"If we're going to have the delegates counted in some manner, it would seem that we would have to have another election," said WINK News political analyst Ben Polk.

"We're getting quite a few phone calls (asking), 'Are we going to get another election?'" said Sharon Harrington, Lee County's Supervisor of Elections.

The possibility of a new primary was the talk of the Lee County elections office wednesday, but no such decision has been made. If there was a new vote, election officials say it would be both complicated, and costly.

"You've got polling locations that you have to secure, also poll workers aren't scheduled work a special election," Harrington said. Major thing is the cost. For Lee County, it would run about $350,000-$500,000 for another election depending on whether they'd have early voting two weeks ahead."

Political experts say with the primary process, it's up the party to decide what to do; but some kind of solution is needed.

"They're going to upset a lot of people in Michigan and Florida if they don't do something," Polk said.

Michigan is in the same boat as Florida; its delegate will not be seated after setting an earlier primary date.

No decisions have been made on any new election. If the national Democrats choose to simply accept the January primary results, Hillary Clinton could benefit most, since she won both Michigan and Florida.
