NEW PLAN: How 'bout a Superdelegates Primary IN JUNE??
Edited on Wed Mar-26-08 04:43 PM by polichick
Gov. Bredesen of Tennessee has a new plan:


Bredesen is doing something about his concerns. He was in Washington this week to promote his idea for holding a “superdelegate primary” in June, in which the 795 party bigwigs would gather to hear one last time from Clinton and Obama before casting a final vote.

Rather than allow the horse-trading and bloodletting go on all summer, he’d get it over with during a two-day business meeting in a neutral, easily reached city like Dallas.

“Invite the candidates to come and talk if they want, and then literally call the roll,” he explained. “We should not go through the summer and have a divided and exhausted Democratic Party. The inescapable conclusion is: OK, you’ve got to find some way to bookend and bring it to closure earlier. How do you do that? Do it in June rather than August."

2. The governor's been making the rounds in DC - and now the shows I guess...
'Course one guest on Hardball pointed out that, if we could get the Supers to attend a primary, we wouldn't need the primary. Lol ~ it really does seem to be like herding cats!
