Howard Dean Wants the Nomination by July 1st
Howard Dean DNC chairman wants the Superdelegates to decide the race by July 1st, or he warns that the Democrats will lose the election in November. At this point, it might take a miracle to pull that off. What if all the Delegates and Superdelegates fall 50/50 will that be enough for Obama to secure the nomination, probably not, which means they might have to count Florida and Michigan, would that be enough to push one candidate over the edge?
In a Friday interview on “Good Morning America,” Dean cited record turnout but noted “some personal criticism” between the candidates.
“We have to keep our mind focused on the idea that at the end of the day we really need change in these country,” Dean told ABC’s Diane Sawyer. “One of these two candidates needs to win. We’re going to win unless we divide ourselves and that, we cannot do.”
Dean Suggests Super Deadline
Intense back-and-forth on the campaign trail have left the two Democratic candidates with a narrow margin between them.
In a race that could be left to the party’s nearly 800 leaders who have independent votes in choosing the Democratic nominee on the convention floor, Dean says he’d like the superdelegates to announce who they’re supporting by July 1.
“We don’t want this to degenerate to a big fight at the convention,” Dean said, “This is an evenly divided party with two great potential nominees. I need to make sure that we all play by the rules that we all agreed to a year ago that the person who loses will be just as strong a supporter of the person who wins.”
