MyDD :: Superdelegate Gap: Back down to 19

Superdelegate Gap: Back down to 19

by kindthoughts, Sun Apr 27, 2008 at 03:20:43 PM EST

Last week the gap widened a a tiny bit going back up from 19 to 22. But now its back down at 19, which is must a bit a bit disconcerting to HRC given her recent PA win.

To summarize:
Clinton: 3 selected add on superdelegates, 3 independent superdelegates.

Obama: 1 add on superdelegate, 5 independent superdelegates

All in all, no giant shift in sight.

Some interesting facts.

DNC superdelegates go to Clinton 143 to 119 giving her the majority of the lead in super delegates.
Distinguished party leaders also go 10 to 4 for Clinton.

Obama gets more governors, 14 to 10, as well as more senators, 17 to 14.
Add-on supers are 8 to 4 which is indicative of how many states he won.

House of Reps SD are pretty much evenly split, 76-74, with Hillary up by 2 more.

Another interesting bit is that California still has 23 uncommitted supers, mainly Reps, which might be a reflection on the fact that her margin was 10%.

Details:

Clinton:
+ New Hampshire add-on Kathy Sullivan (selected) - 04/26
+ Tennessee Rep. John Tanner - 04/23
+ Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan - 04/21
+ Ohio Rep. Betty Sutton 04/19
+ New Jersey Add-on Jim Florio (selected Thursday) - 04/19
+ New Jersey Add-on Brendan Byrne (selected Thursday) - 04/19

Obama:
+ Oregon Rep. David Wu - 04/26
+ Nebraska DNC Austra Ostergaard - 04/26
+ Arizona DNC Charlene Fernandez (selected) - 04/26
+ Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry - 04/23
+ Ohio DNC Enid Goubeaux - 04/21
+ Nebraska DNC Steven Achelpohl 04/19

she has not endorsed anyone (2.00 / 2)

New Mexico's add-on superdelegate is Laurie Weahkee. She is currently the lead organizer for the Native American Voters Alliance, which is a core project of the Sacred Alliance for Grassroots Equality (SAGE Council).

...

"My first loyalty is really to the Native American agenda. I'm really going to be listening to both candidates to find out what their positions are ... how hard they're willing to go to bat for the Native American people," Weahkee said after winning a 71-59 vote over Charlotte Little of Taos and San Felipe pueblos at the meeting in Northeast Albuquerque.

Either he doesn't know or doesn't care. He's gone back and TR'd past comments of mine for no reason, regardless of content or relevance. I just complained to the mods.

How are add-ons selected? (none / 0)

Just curious but how are add-on delegates selected? And is there any real drama to this? Did the NH add-on go to Clinton because she won the popular vote there?

by elrod on Sun Apr 27, 2008 at 09:54:32 PM EST

from what I know it depends on the state. (none / 0)
