The life of a super delegate

Tuesday, 12th February 2008

With the very real possibility that this race goes all the way to the convention, Democratic super delegates are getting a lot of attention. One, who is a 21 year old student, got taken for breakfast by Chelsea Clinton and every single one has been called by Bill Clinton.

I’m sceptical that the super delegates will end up deciding who gets the nomination. But if it looks like they could they are going to come under huge pressure. Not only will they have a former president on the phone every few days but there will be email drives, public lobbying efforts, calls from friends and family and a whole bunch else.
