Michigan Democrats can no longer count on getting hotel rooms at their national convention in Denver.

The Democratic National Committee's rules committee stripped Michigan of its 156 delegates last month as punishment for scheduling an early presidential primary -- in violation of party rules.

State party officials had until Saturday to come up with an alternative to the Jan. 15 contest, but declined to do so.

That decision caused the DNC to informally tell Michigan Democratic Chairman Mark Brewer that the party no longer has reservations at the Red Lion Hotel-Denver Central during the convention, Aug. 25 - 28.

State party spokesman Jason Moon said Brewer thinks the rooms will be given back to the delegation before the convention.
