HOWARD DEAN Still STATES He Would Like SUPERDELEGATES to DECLARE THEIR CANDIDATE by JULY 1, HOWEVER...HE, Still, DOES NOT DECLARE HIS CANDIDATE!
Posted On Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at at 12:59 PM by TWIST-TheBloggerIn an interview today (April 1, 2008 - 12:50pm ET), on MSNBC Live with Norah O'Donnell, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean continued to advance his preference for un-pledged/undeclared Superdelegates to choose a candidate by July 1, 2008.
Howard Dean stated: "We also have these un-pledged delegates that have been part of the rules for 25 years. There's about 800 of them, about 470 of them have voted. I'd like the other 330 to say who they're for between now and the 1st of July. If they do, we get this wrapped up by the 1st of July, and i think we go on to win."
Continuing...
Norah O'Donnell: "...but you're the Chairman of the Party what assurances do you have for the rest of the Democratic Party, and Americans, that you--as The Chairman--are doing something to make sure that this is settled so that the focus can be on John McCain and not on the fighting between the two democrats?"
HD: "That's actually why I'm talking to you right now. I think that these 330 folks, who have not yet said who they are, could do the country and The Party an enormous service by saying who they're for before July 1st. 470 have already done so, so we'd like the last 330 to say so as these votes are continuing to come in from the public, that way we'll have a unified party by the time we have a convention, and we'll beat John McCain."
And yet...
Ms. O'Donnell did not ask, and Chairman Dean still did not offer...
A STATEMENT ON WHICH CANDIDATE HE IS SUPPORTING.
He put it on the table...
He should show his cards.
In doing this he would demonstrate...
Leadership by Example.
