Poll question: Should the superdelgate primary be moved forward to June?
The governor of Tennessee is proposing a plan to move the superdelegate primary to mid june so the democratic party can finally unite abd rally behind a presidential candidate. Should the superdelgate primary be moved forward to June?

3. I think you are confusing your terms.. but I voted yes anyways
We can't move the convention

this super delegate primary you speak of does not exist



I think they want to have some type of mini convention / super delegate primary in June to try and create a presumptive nominee, instead of having HC and BO fight over the SD until late August.

6. Anyone can invite Super Delegates to a meeting
and if enough of them go it could achieve critical mass, officially or unofficially.

One cannot move forward that which does not exist. If Dean wants to assemble the super delegates early and have themm decide how they are going to vote, that would be a major rule change during the nomination process. Making that change re-opens the issue of MI and FLA. I vote no. The process is what it is. Change the rules for the next time, not this time.

8. There is no PRIMARY for superdelegates. Are Bill and Hillary worried
that she won't be able to put the party back together after stealing the nomination?
