In Josh Green's blockbuster exposé on the Clinton campaign, he reveals: "On March 4, as Ohio and Texas were voting, the advisers, who now included senior strategist Doug Hattaway, circulated another memo formalizing what they now called the 'Florigan Plan.'"
As a campaign writer for The Hotline, I was assigned the FL/MI delegate debacle, the first story of which we published on March 7. It appears, based on Nexis, that I coined the term "Florigan" in the press:
Florigan: Ghost Primaries Haunt Dems
The 3/4 primaries "supplied oxygen" to Hillary Clinton's campaign, "but they also threw gas on the smoldering problem of what to do about" FL and MI. Because it seems "increasingly likely" that neither Clinton nor Barack Obama will clinch the nod in the 13 remaining contests, their camps are refocusing on the "largest pool of outstanding votes: the 366 delegates originally allocated" to FL and MI. "But the Michigan-and-Florida issue remains almost intractable."
(It's no "terrorist fist jab," but still kinda cool.)
