The superdelegates are back

by: Matt

Thu Oct 22, 2009 at 13:00:00 PM EDT


At least in Minnesota. Next April, the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party will hold a convention where they will likely endorse a candidate for Governor. With at least 10 announced candidates, the endorsement will narrow the field, as a number of candidates (but not all) have already agreed to abide by the endorsement and not run if they don't get it.

The endorsement is a big deal for the candidates and 1200 delegates, and, the best part, is that there are 200 superdelegates. While tracking Minnesota superdelegates is tempting for us here at DCW, luckily the MN Progressive Project is doing a fine job by themselves:

Margaret Anderson Kelliher     14
      Rep. Margaret Anderson Kelliher (Minneapolis)
      Rep. John Benson (Minnetonka)
      Rep. Kathy Brynaert (Mankato)
      Sen. Scott Dibble (Minneapolis)
      Rep. Denise Dittrich (Champlin)
      Rep. Melissa Hortman (Brooklyn Park)
      Sen. Linda Higgins (Minneapolis)
      Rep. Frank Hornstein (Minneapolis)
      Rep. Jeremy Kalin (North Branch)
      Rep. Ann Lenczewski (Bloomington)
      Rep. Diane Loeffler (Minneapolis)
      Rep. Will Morgan (Burnsville)
      Rep. Marsha Swails (Woodbury)
      Rep. Ryan Winkler (Golden Valley)
 
      With their initial announcement tour,
MAK's campaign sent out a series of
endorser emails. Reports indicate that
there were several more legislators included
in this blast other than these. Let us know
if you got one that indicates an endorsement.
 
Tom Bakk     14
      Sen. Tom Bakk (Cook)
      Rep. David Dill (Crane Lake)
      Sen. Keith Langseth (Glyndon)
      Sen. Ann Lynch (Rochester)
      Sen. Steve Murphy (Red Wing)
      Rep. Michael Nelson (Brooklyn Park)
      Sen. Rick Olseen (Harris)
      Sen. Kathy Saltzman (Woodbury)
      Sen. Tom Saxhaug (Grand Rapids)
      Sen. Rod Skoe (Clearbrook)
      Sen. Dan Skogen (Hewitt)
      Sen. Dan Sparks (Austin)
      Sen. Jim Vickerman (Tracy)
      Sen. Chuck Wiger (Maplewood)
 
Matt Entenza     8
      Congressman Keith Ellison
      Sen. Dick Cohen (St. Paul)
      Rep. Sheldon Johnson (St. Paul)
      Rep. Gene Pelowski (Winona)
      Rep. Jeanne Poppe (Austin)
      Rep. Cy Thao (St. Paul)
      Rep. Tim Mahoney (St. Paul)
      Rep. Carlos Mariani (St. Paul)
 
Susan Gaertner     1
      Rep. Paul Gardner (Shoreview)
 
Steve Kelley     1
      Congresswoman Betty McCollum
 
John Marty     3
      Sen. John Marty (Roseville)
      Sen. Sharon Erickson Ropes (Winona)
      Rep. Mindy Greiling (Roseville)
 
Paul Thissen     2
      Rep. Paul Thissen (Richfield)
      Rep. Linda Slocum (Richfield)
 
Tom Rukavina     2
      Rep. Tom Rukavina (Virginia)
      Rep. Al Juhnke (Willmar)

We'll have to keep an eye on this.

Thanks for the mention! (0.00 / 0)
I'll post a diary (when DCW allows me to do so) explaining how the superdelegates are alloted under DFL rules.
