Friend of a Super Delegate

I'm not totally sure -- I guess they can. I would imagine most will be confirmed by at least June.

They can, but there's a lot of pressure. Even the pledged delegates can sit down at the convention and vote for Kermit the Frog if they like. They only have sides if they've publicly stated support for one candidate or the other. They could totally be Liar McLiarsons and that's why each news station has a slightly different count.

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh the other day and he had a caller who was picked as a super delegate. The caller only voted in the Texas primary because he was a member of projoect chaos. At least one superdelegate is going to vote for whichever candidate is polling worse against McCain at the time of the convention.

This doesn't seem right to me. Super delegates are given that distinction by the Democratic party. Surely, they wouldn't give it to someone likely to actually be a Republican. It's mainly big party players, right?
