Obama on Bredesen's "Interesting Proposal"
The Donkey's Mouth points to a CNN story which indicates that Obama may be inclined to support Bredesen's proposal to have a super-delegate super-primary after the other states hold their contests.
Frankly, I don't think it'll be necessary as we'll know where the superdelegates stand based on the campaigns and news media tallies.

Isn't it interesting how Obama now supports the superdelegates making the decision over allowing the voters of Florida and Michigan to just vote? In the same interview, Obama also said he wants to do whatever the DNC decides, not what the voters decide. Anything but letting the voters decide seems to be his latest idea.
Christian,
I'm not sure how he can let "the voters decide" how Michigan will have a new primary. That is up to the legislature, and he hasn't done anything to prevent it, though his campaign has raised questions about the process, if the legislature votes in favor of a new primary, and the DNC approves, Obama will abide by that decision.
Of course, the simplest thing to do would be to go with Michigan's original plan to have a caucus, but we know that Hillary won't accept that.
