The Fat Lady is not yet singing

Why it ain’t over till it’s over: Super delegates. No one should stop a human being from trying to win a race when there is even the slightest chance of making it. It is the foundation upon which this nation was built: everyone, man, woman, white, black, has the right to seek their destiny. So I thought I would try to be the one to discuss the superdelegates and why they have become a force in this year’s presidential campaign.

I was trying to find a list of superdelegates to list for all those who are interested in knowing who they are. I found a website http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2008/05/the-black-superdelegates-000555.php that lists only those superdelegates that are black. They are listed by their commitment to the various candidates. Is it me? or do we have to bring race into this campaign any more than it has been? Does anyone really understand the superdelegate issue? Do you know who the superdelegates are?

 Let me tell you , this was not an easy task to find out names and contact information for these people. I believe this information should be easy, accessible and listed by state or commitment. I have done the best I could with limited time. Where you see “DNC”, it  means appointed by or member of Democratic National Committee. Where possible, I tried to look up contact information and listed by state. 

If you want a complete history of all superdelegates and how they are selected, go to http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html

Here is the partial  list of non-committed superdelegates, some with contact information. There are more, too many for this space. But if you feel you want to contact anyone on the list, you have the right to have their contact information, since it was listed publicly. Those that did not list information, If I could not find an email, I did not publish their personal information. Remember, this list is not the entire list and changes it seems, moment to moment.
