My Left Nutmeg

The Clintons come a courtin'

by: Scarce

Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 07:59:59 AM EST


An increasingly desperate Clinton campaign goes after the so-called super delegates, including a 21 year old who got to have breakfast with Chelsea.

(CBS) With Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama locked in a tight battle for the Democratic presidential nomination - the latest CBS News delegate count puts Obama at 1,139 and Clinton at 1,132 - it is the Democratic Party insiders known as superdelegates, who are not bound by the votes of the rank-and-file, who could decide the party's nominee.

Three superdelegates spoke to CBS News Early Show Anchor Harry Smith this morning about how the campaigns are courting them and the decision they have to make about which candidate to support.
...
"When your cell phone lights up and they say that President Clinton is on the phone, your reaction is what?," Smith asked him.

"Oh, this is a joke," Hardt said. "Someone's playing a joke on me. Until you hear his voice, and his voice is unmistakable. You know, I was caught off guard, but a chance to chit-chat with the former president of the United States is just an amazing opportunity."

Nancy DiNardo, chairwoman of the Connecticut Democratic Party, also got a call from Clinton - while she was driving. She, too, first thought it was a joke.

 Scarce....the only way  you  could have known about the phone call from Clinton to DiNardo was  for DiNardo leaking  it  to  you.

I  for one  know  that DiNardo is publically neutral on the Presidential race,but is a super delegate with a vote.
I do  hope she follows  the popular will and  supports Obama.The custom and prior practice  for a stat5e party chair is to honor the popular will and support it...I  hope  she  comes along  and  maybe  you  could convince her.
