Tim Walz doesn't seem to like the Super Delegate system.

[Eric J in MN]

Tim Walz (D-MN) implied that he was going to cast his Super Delegate vote for whichever Democratic presidential nominee got the votes of more ordinary Minnesotans.

For him to decide that way is to protest the idea that Democratic elected officials should have votes which count for more than the rest of us (the Super Delegate system.)

The Statement

"The real winners of last night's caucuses were the people of Minnesota. Voters turned out in record numbers to embrace the Democratic call for change.

“The next President will have a lot of work to do to clean up eight years of mismanagement from George W. Bush. I am confident that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are up to the challenge.

“Last night at the Democratic caucuses, the voters of southern Minnesota overwhelmingly supported Senator Barack Obama and his hopeful vision for positive change. As a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, I will honor their decision and support Senator Obama."
