A Superdelegate Primary? How About New Primaries In MI and FL!
Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen is proposing a superdelegate “primary” to settle the Democratic presidential race before the party’s convention in August.
“It seems to me if we have a nominee come Labor Day with a very deeply divided party and morally exhausted party, I think we have a problem,” Bredesen told CNN. “We’ve got to resolve this in some way before the end of August.”
….DNC Chairman Howard Dean has not endorsed Bredesen’s superdelegate plan, proposed in Wednesday’s New York Times, and so far it has not gained much traction. But clearly, Obama is trying to breathe a little life into it.
But on a conference call with reporters, Clinton senior adviser Harold Ickes said the idea was a good one that will “never happen.”
Morally exhausted? What does that mean? Is that a reference to the deafening silence from all the elected Democrats that have not had the courage to demand that the voters in MI and FL be heard?
Do the rules allow for this? It appears to me that the powers that be are worried about the selected and not elected candidate that they will be running come November!
