Call for the 2012 Democratic National Convention

by: Matt

Sun Aug 22, 2010 at 10:32:56 AM EDT


To Whom It May Concern:
By authority of the Democratic National Committee, the National Convention of the Democratic Party is hereby scheduled to convene on September 3, 2012, in Location TBA, at an hour to be announced, to select nominees for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America, to adopt and promulgate a platform and to take such other actions with respect to such other matters as the Convention may deem advisable.
 
Delegate allocations, platform committee rules, all the good stuff. You can see it all here. Here's one change from 2008 I especially like (emphasis mine):
 
G. Unpledged votes shall be allocated to provide for the Democratic President, the Democratic Vice President, and all former Democratic Presidents, all former Democratic Vice Presidents, all former Democratic Leaders of the United States Senate, all former Democratic Speakers of the United States House of Representatives and Democratic Minority Leaders, as applicable, and all former Chairpersons of the Democratic National Committee.
 
Didn't see that in the Call four years ago...

that confuses me (0.00 / 0)
does that mean the president will not get to vote for himself?

No, it means he does (0.00 / 0)
My point was that 4 years ago, there were no superdelegate positions allocated for the current Dem President, as there wasn't one!
