On the other hand, I would like to see a vote by the pledged delegates on the floor as to whether superdelegates make sense and thus the idea of overriding the popular vote makes sense. It would be a good quick test of the extent to which the Democratic Party wants to be a democratic party.

All the delegates get to vote on any resolution brought to the floor.

So, what you say you would like will not happen. All delegates are equal. It would be a test only of whether the fans of one candidate (Obama) should be able to bully delegates. That is all the test it would be.
