super delegates
Hi All,
Super-delegate Donna Christensen gave her pledged vote to Hillary Clinton. The Virgin Islands, where Mrs. Christensen is the Congressional Representative, gave Barack Obama over 85% of its popular vote.
Still, Mrs. Christensen will not change her pledge from Clinton to Obama.
Why?
Her office says that she must consider, on a “federal” level, not only her own constituency at the Virgin Islands but also a broader constituency. One might think she is referring to tourist or something, who knows but as the majority of delegates on the mainland goes for Obama; she would be talking about a broader constituency living on mars for all we know.
I fear that Rep. Donna Christensen is the reason Mrs. Clinton has remained in this race. The only reasonable explanation for Donna Christensen’s demand to forego the wishes of her own community of supporters is some behind the scenes favors passing below the radar.
Please, everyone, contact the super-delegates. Once a decision is made, and they will make it, there will be no taking it back.
Contacting super-delegates with a request to pledge Obama will do him no harm and might benefit him greatly. Mind you, do not say anything negative about Hillary, though you may point out positives about Obama.
Below, is a site that lists super-delegates, the first link, to a site “guide”, the second to a list of already pledged super-delegates. I write the already pledged group to ask them to change to Obama. The second link is to super-delegates already pledged (you can write them in the same manner, asking that they change to Obama).
Many have sat back, deciding this race for the nomination is in the bag.
Do not underestimate the Clinton Clan.
Why has she remained in this campaign? For a long time now, she has known that there is only one way to win. Super-delegates.
The Clinton’s wield some very influential political power.
