I think it may also depend upon what you mean by "pitching the rules". Hypothetically it could be CHANGED,but changed to allow for the running of another primary in these states, in addition to just seating the delegates as mentioned. The relative benefits of which can be debated but I do not believe that one logically follows on the basis of rule change itself (and I don't want to assume you meant that necessarily) along with the changing of the superdelegate rules. However, I do think that change ,if decided upon, should wait untill after the elections cycle (and I concede that I don't have a logical reason for this other than my perception of the problems it could cause otherwise). Of course the "decisiveness" of the super delegates themselves relative to other parts of this process can be reduced if a decisive majority of them agree to go with the pledged/delegate counts. If they don't decide to do this, I would be sympathetic with people who disagree with the result on moral/personal grounds while not legal ones
