Do candidates just twist their arms and get their pledge? Doesn't it have anything to do with the voting in primaries?<BR/><BR/>I also looked at the CNN site and it seemed as if Obama and Clinton had similar #'s of "super delegates." I find this whole process mystifying.<BR/><BR/>And how was it that in the past you could have a convention and not even know who was going to win at that point?Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548065938420863975.post-49100396804578479952008-01-09T08:48:00.000-05:002008-01-09T08:48:00.000-05:00I was really surprised last night when I was watch...I was really surprised last night when I was watching the results coming on C-SPAN. A caller asked this very question about where all Clinton's delegates had come from, and the host couldn't answer! It was clear she had no idea how the "super delegates" worked!<BR/><BR/>It's a detail that many average folks like us don't know about, but I would have thought someone who is supposed to be a "political reporter" would be able to answer a question about how the delegate count works!Sue Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372579806614287004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548065938420863975.post-31334428530340218832008-01-08T17:15:00.000-05:002008-01-08T17:15:00.000-05:00Thanks for the great info.
