The concensus among the attendees was that this is a bad idea.

The state party would effectively give a "nod" to particular candidates in May.  That would give the Dems several extra months to focus their targets on that presumed nominee.  Several extra months to fabricate lots of opposition research.

And how fair is this to the other candidates in the race?  No, the party's "favorite" in May wasn't actually nominated and the other candidates should either drop out or hang on until August?

And then there's all the added expense of holding two conventions - not just for the party but, more importantly, for the attendees.  You've just doubled their expenses to participate in the process.

This is not a good plan and it has no "upside."
