In what looks to be an interesting venture Obama plans to propose a commission to review the presidential selection process, possibly diminishing the role of the superdelegates. In a post from the Washington Post "David Plouffe said the campaign will ask the national convention delegates in Denver to approve a resolution approving the establishment of a 35-member Democratic Change Commission." Another change would include redrawing the primary and caucus calendar.
I know we've debated this issue in here several times but it looks like the Obama camp is proposing a review possibly leading to changes. Many of the changes listed in the post adddress issues that have been discussed in here such as allowing absentee voting for caucuses, avoiding the bunching of states on particular days, and a review of the calendar from the current traditional one. This is a good sign and something that will hopefully avoid the situation of 2008. We'll see what happens next week at the convention.
