Tell Him How To Vote

Tom Ryan, an undecided superdelegate in Pennsylvania, wants voters to decide for him.
With only four days until the Pennsylvania Primary, Tom says he wants to leave his choice up to the people. Last week, this Scranton Mayoral candidate announced on his web page, VoteTomRyan.com, that he was selected as one of Pennsylvania's unelected superdelegates. As a result, he has received numerous emails asking questions like "How did you become a Superdelegate?" and "Do you think its fair that you could overturn the will of the people?"
Visitors to VoteTomRyan.com can vote in a poll asking who Tom should support, Clinton or Obama. There will be a new video everyday between now and the primary. Out of 700 Superdelegates, only a little over 200 are actually known. TomRyan says he wants to show that superdelegates "are not the faceless, anonymous elites that the media has made them out to be. '

Jewish Delegates Pivotal

A disproportionately large number of Democratic superdelegates are Jewish, and they could prove crucial in deciding whether Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama wins the party’s nomination.
Thus far 36 Jewish superdelegates have declared for Clinton, while Obama has 12 Jewish superdelegates. But 26 Jewish superdelegates are among those who are still undeclared.
“If the Democratic presidential primary comes down to a photo finish, these Jewish insiders could play an outsized role in anointing a nominee at the party’s August convention,” according to the Forward, a Jewish publication that has conducted a new survey of Jewish superdelegates.
Superdelegates are largely elected officials and party officials, and the number of Jewish politicians has grown significantly in the past half-century. In 2006, 33 Jewish candidates were elected to Congress, up from 13 in 1950, the Forward reports.
And over the past 15 years, the Democratic National Committee has had three Jewish chairs.
One of those chairs, Massachusetts-based activist Steve Grossman, is now a Clinton fundraiser. And with Obama ahead of Hillary in pledged delegates and the popular vote, Grossman has sent out an open letter to DNC members urging them not to fall in behind Obama until all state contests are concluded.
Grossman told the Forward that if the result from the disputed Florida primary is counted, and Hillary does well in upcoming primaries, the overall results would be inconclusive and it would be the responsibility of superdelegates to vote their conscience.
The Forward also notes that Hillary has personally been doing some “heavy arm-twisting” in an effort to secure Jewish superdelegates.

Democrats Not democratic

It turns out the democrat Party is not very democratic.
For ample evidence of this you need look no further than the unelected superdelegates who are likely to decide the Democrat Party nominee for President this year.
The RNC has created a clever, informative (and funny) site all about the superdelegates and how they can and will be manipulated in a most UNdemocratic fashion.
Of course one of those superdelegates is Joisey's own wacky Governor Jon Corzine. It seems Corzine is pledged (well, sort of pledged) to Clinto but now says he could wind switching his delegate vote to Obama. Forget that Clinton easily carried Joisey. Ya see, Joisey's Governor don't care about that, hon. He's gonna vote in what he perceives to be HIS best interest and to hell with the state.
My, my -- it must be fun to be a superdelegate: sort of like a potentate, only a bit more powerful.
