This site lists the skinny on the Superdelegates - If you wanna be in the know
Edited on Wed Feb-13-08 10:47 PM by truedelphi
Here is where to go -
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html

Regardless of who is your main choice as the Dem candidate, I think this site is a marvelous resource - it lets you know who is on the superdelegate list and it tells you which candidate the superdelegate for your area may be supporting.

For instance - Lynn Woolsey of Marin County CA is supporting Hillary Clinton.

Remember that armed with this information you can then proceed to write, phone or email any superdelegate that you desire and tell them whom you hope they will select. (Superdelegates are allowed to change their minds.)

Also, there are still many uncommitted superdelegates.

The site is very well done and gives quite a bit of explanation about the process of becoming and or being a superdelegate and what it all means.

2. Nothing moves a politician like active and persistent opposition in their district.
Get on them and stay on them, if you disagree with them, and you are their constituent.

9. Lots of women on Hillary's list ... that presumably means
that there are a lot more men than women on the uncommitted list. And college-educated men favor Obama pretty heavily.

11. kick
There's enough info here for Democrats across the spectrum to "weigh in" with their local party honchos on the issue. The 'super delegate' system, for better or worse, is a function of the party and if changes are needed, it's these folks that need to be encouraged to review and revise the system. Good starting points are with State and local Democratic leaders, as well as the uncommitted delegates themselves.
