Democrats who gathered in Washington for a two-day session also looked to limit the influence of the independent superdelegates in choosing the party's nominee. Superdelegates are the members of Congress, governors and party elders who can back candidates regardless of how their states vote.

In 2008, Obama won over scores of superdelegates, helping him build an advantage over rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in the final count. About a fifth of the delegates to the national convention were superdelegates.

With Obama likely to seek a second term, Democrats were willing to stick with the traditional calendar start, rebuffing complaints from some party officials that Iowa and New Hampshire, predominantly white states with smaller populations, have an oversized role in the process.
