The Super Delegate Debate Continues

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.”
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”???
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.
