Today, Governor Phil Bredsen of Tennessee proposed a superdelegate primary in June in order to cut the losses of a long and brutal fight for the nomination. This is a great idea considering that the superdelegates will decide this nomination anyways. Its not like anything will happen between the last primary in June and the convention in August that would be significant to the "INDEPENDENT" choice of each superdelegate. I don't know why it takes ideas from everyone in the party before the DNC takes initiative and actually takes action. In addition to the Florida and Michigan debacle, this long battle has really illustrated Howard Dean's failure as leader of the DNC.
And on another note, I watched Phil Bredsen on Lou Dobbs tonight and I think he may have given a veiled endorsement of Hillary Clinton. I am deriving this theory from a quote by Phil Bredsen saying, "Hope is not a strategy". Considering Obama's campaign is based in good part on hope I think Gov. Bredsen's statement might veil his opinion that Obama is all about the rhetoric of hope and not solid solutions. Watch his interview and see what you think.
