Florida and Michigan
Both Florida and Michigan are looking like they may hold some form of re-votes. It's still very early in the process, but it seems to be finally moving.
Ambinder has two bits on this. 1) Howard Dean's statement, and I think more importantly, 2) that the contests have to be designed, approved, and carried out before June 10.
This was always the likely solution (and the Clinton fallback position.)

The governors are pandering. No one in FL or MI wants to accept responsibility for their parties' actions. They're trying to make Dean the villain, like it was some sort of edict he personally issued, when in fact this was an open process and a well-debated set of rules.
The states are starting to sound belligerent and thugish.
I think voters deserve a re-vote, but it's the responsibility of the state parties to suck it up financially. And it wouldn't hurt to hear the state parties apologize for being screwing things up in the first place.

Yeah, that's the blocking question, who pays. I saw Dean on TV fighting back saying that the DNC was spending its money to defeat John McCain.
