I like the idea of a televised live superdelagate debate.

which practically guarantees it'll never happen.
It makes too much sense.
But just think of the TV Ratings.


debate for four hours or so,
then everybody votes
then they count them
then everybody goes home,
or to Denver.

1. Not all of these superdelegates can fly in for the purpose of a debate
A lot are just party officials.

2. That would ROCK!
You should email this idea to CNN and MSNBC.
Seriously this is a brilliant idea.
They can maybe even vote while they are all together and one of the two would get kicked off of the island :D
And end these freaken primaries

6. No one actually casts a vote until Denver
What would this do? Get them together for a promise?

7. Nah.
It's essentially a call for a rule change.
