(CNN)— An increasingly firm Howard Dean told CNN again Thursday that he needs superdelegates to say who they’re for – and “I need them to say who they’re for starting now.”
“We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time,” the Democratic National Committee Chairman told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “We’ve got to know who our nominee is.”
After facing criticism for a mostly hands-off leadership style during much of the primary season, Dean has been steadily raising the rhetorical pressure on superdelegates. He said Thursday that roughly 65 percent of them have made their preference plain, but that more than 300 have yet to make up their minds.

Op CHAOS, Yearrrrrghhhhh!
Pretty interesting since the primary is next Tuesday and they want to lock up the votes before Hillary wins it.
This is truly a weird primary. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Sweet little message.
they cant call it, thats the beauty. if they pick one or the other in the backroom they are doomed. beauty
Can I ask a foolish questions? If the Dem super delegates make the decision as to who runs for president does it mean all the
Dems who voted in the primary are disenfranchised?
Rush, you magnificent bastard!
Captain, the engines canna stand the strain. The dilitithium crystals are going to crack. Har........
Hillary will give up now. /sarcasm
No, Dean. You let the process take it's course....
Sure. It's like when ballot initiatives are passed by the conservative public and then ignored by the scumbag Democrats or taken to court by scumbag Democrats to be overturned by scumbag Democrat judges.
Scumbag Democrat politicians, including "super delegates", know best.
Choking kitten picture please.
They’re not disenfranchised. It’s just that in the democRat party, some people get 1 vote and others get a million.
“We cannot give up two or three months of active campaigning and healing time,”
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!
Oops...I think I made myself faint on that one. ;>)
Someone should start using the disenfranchised word more. I don’t think Dems know what is happening to them.
Now might be the time to ask a question that keeps popping into my head. Do the superdelegates have opportunity to also vote in the primary elections in their states? I realize that a superdelegate vote (amazingly) carries more strength than a singular vote by themselves or anybody else, but even so, would they not be voting twice which would most certainly be illegal?
I'm sure I can find a comparable in ye old fables.
LOL-good one. Don’t faint until the Dem convention, though.
Read the comments at the bottom of the article at the CNN site. Libs attacking each other and attacking Dean. Visualize CHAOS. Too funny.
The remaining states (Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina, Hawaii, Kentucky, Oregon, Idaho, New Mexico, South Dakota,and Nebraska) all need to be told repeatedly that the Dimocrats are trying to nullify their votes with the party insiders.
