The Super Delegate Debate Continues
February 25th, 2008
By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer
Posted Feb. 25, 2008 – There may be no need to worry about the role of “super delegates” in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination Michigan Congressman John Conyers (D) told me. He predicts that if Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) winning streak continues, “Someone may concede the whole thing.”
The only “someone” to concede is Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who is betting on primaries in Ohio and Texas to revive her campaign.
Conyers wants Democrats to stop the infighting and start focusing on the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
Clinton (D-N.Y.) hasn’t given any indication she would concede, so what if it comes down to the super delegates and a battle to seat those delegates in Florida and Michigan?
Clinton wants those votes to count of course, because she “won” those contests. There were no other candidates’ names on the ballot and no one campaigned in those states, as was agreed upon by all parties before the primary season started.
Conyers, a super delegate from Michigan, won’t be able to cast his vote either. The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and dean of the Congressional Black Caucus will have to forfeit his super status because Michigan ignored the rules set forth by the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Conyers said that if there is a compromise for the delegates in the states that were disqualified, it should be done fairly, before the convention; and that no one should be rewarded who “violated” the rules. “We have to either have a caucus or an agreement with the candidates.” he said.
Conyers isn’t the only Black lawmaker whose super status hangs in the balance. Florida Congressmen Kendrick Meek and Alcee Hastings also forfeited their standing. In October 2007, Hasting and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) filed a lawsuit in federal court against the DNC and the chairman, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean.
The lawsuit charges the DNC with imposing “disenfranchisement on a massive scale,” for voters in Florida by stripping away its delegates and its representation at the national convention in Denver. No decision on this yet.
But Conyers thinks the contest between Obama and Clinton will be over soon. “We may not have to do anything,” he said. “It’s looking difficult [for Clinton] to get more delegates than Barack Obama.”
And the question of whether super delegates will make the call, Conyers said, “no one is going to stand for that.” We can’t go back to the days of smoke-filled rooms, where a few party heavyweights would decide who the nominee would be. That won’t work in 2008.”

Shouldnt be an issue Pamela hopefuly, and I said hopefully lol. We see that we’ve close the gap to 1 percentage point in Texas, and shrinking the deficit in Ohio. In Texas thats a statistical dead heat with 7 days to go. The two other play states Vermont, and Penn, should also give Barack a considerable lead. Based on data on the ground here in Texas, we are making considerable in-rounds througout traditional Clinton strongholds. Its going to be a bumpy ride, yet in the words of Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis “Just Win Baby”, if the campaign manages to keep doing this, the controversy over the Super Delegates will become less of a play.
yea just win baby!!!! thats all I gotta say bout that th0!
Hillary will be crying again very soon! I hope she remember that payback is a B!
YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!
WE WANT CHANGE! BARACK ‘08!
Hilary Clinton is the BEST person to run this country. The media and all those nieve supporters of Barack Obama are in for a rude awakening when the republican attack machine gets through with him. Barack Obama is the media darling today, but they are just building him up to tear him down. He hasn’t answered any SERIOUS questions from the media. In debates he agrees with and repeats everything Hilary says. He has been given a free ride in this contest, but his free ride will be over soon. I support Hilary and I want her to take this fight as far as it will go. She has earned the right to do so! Anyone who suggests she gets out of the race when neither of them will have enough delegates to win has their own agenda. A contest only ends when there is a winner. Keep fighting Hilary, there are millions of Americans who can think for themselves and have not jumped on the Barack Obama bandwagon. As an African American, I support Hilary and remember how she and her husband have stuck their necks out for minorities, the poor, and the middle class in this country. I’ve never been poled by anyone from the media because they don’t want to hear from anyone that supports Hilary. To them they know all of her skeletons in the closet, they are just salivating to find out the skeletons in Obamas closet and they can’t do that unless he is the nominee!
tO: hillary08, Brother, the only thing bill and hillary have ever done for black people is smile and hug them during eletion times! Well…I guess I should take that back because bill has has spent a lot of money in Harlem…with the ladies of the night!! History reports that over 460,000 black men and women fought on the side of the south to preserve slavery….history was wrong..it left out the main one….it forgot to count you!!!!…..you hsve just been poled!
The nomination for the next Democratic Candidate for the Presidency of the United States is just about to be announced and “Barack Obama” is about to etch out another page in America’s history books. His first entry read’s “The first man of Color to make a successful run for the Presidency of the United States”. His second entry will read, “The first man of Color to be elected as the President of The United States”. We have to understand that the Clinton camp is now scrambling to find new ways to sabotage “Future President Barack Obama’s bid for the Democratic Nomination”. They will do whatever, regardless of how low and underhanded it might be. They see the writing on the wall, just as Belshazzar the son of Nebuchadnezzar did in the “Book of Daniel” “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN”
“MENE: GOD HAS NUMBERED THE DAYS OF YOUR REIGN AND BROUGHT IT TO AND END. TEKEL: YOU HAVE BEEN WEIGHED ON THE SCALES AND FOUND WANTING. PERES: YOUR KINGDOM IS DIVIDED AND GIVEN TO THE MEDES AND PERSIANS”. Their days are numbered and their reign is over. They have been weighed on the scales and found to be un-just, un-trustworthy, liar’s and whoremonger’s. Now their sought after kingdom shall be divided up and given to President: Barack Obama. Go on now and claim your prize Future President: Barack Obama. You have kept your eyes on the prize and now it is yours for the taking with all the “Blessings of Abraham”.
MSSWEETELLA, wow. that is some scary stuff. “their kingdom shall be dived up and given to President b.o.”???? i didn’t know this was a monarchy, with parts of the u.s. to be divided up and handed out.
“claim your prize”??? “yours for the taking 8221;???
this all hints at the idea that you think b.o. is some annointed one from the heavens sent to reclaim his place as lord and savior. but he is not. i mean, unless he’s the antichrist??
i’m being silly to make a point. which is that POLITICIANS WORK FOR US! we are not subjects of any politician, and NO POLITICIAN deserves any office they are elected to. they are servants WHO WORK FOR US. don’t you forget that. because it’s this kind of mentality which allows our civil liberties to be etched away. and when b.o. supporters who say that “this is bigger than us” and “we are the change” then it gets a little scary. support your candidate, be happy for him, but DO NOT place him on a pedestal. because when it gets knocked over, there are a lot of sad and sorrowful people wondering what to do about the mess.
