Surely 'can organise and motivate supporters to actually go and vote' is a pretty important criterion in selecting a presidential candidate? With a survey you get no reliable information about that.
In this specific instance it might not matter, since both candidates have already convincingly shown extraordinary abilities to organise and motivate supporters to actually go and vote. But if we are taking this specific instance, the last thing the DNC wants now is yet more fuel for argument about the selection process, which using an entirely novel method would surely supply.
