Dean wants superdelegates to come to a quick decision
The DNC chairman encourages remaining delegates to declare a preference by July 1.
Farhad Manjoo [2008-03-28]

  • Dean is right

    But I don't believe he has the personal clout to persuade the remaining super delegates to declare their choices by the deadline.

    I do think that a combination of circumstances (primary votes, polling results, high profile endorsements, bone-headed gaffes and misstatements) in the next few weeks will push the neutral delegates to take their stands. We may also see more defections from super delegates who made their initial commitments many months ago and who now are reconsidering their positions.

    Certainly things will all be sorted out by July 1 and the pivot to face the GOP will begin in earnest.
