http://www.minnesotamonitor.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3034Superdelegates make up one-fifth of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention. There are 4,090 total delegates to the DNC, of which 796 are superdelegates and have free reign to choose whichever candidate they like best.
The superdelegates include Democratic National Committee members living in Minnesota, all Democratic members of Congress, the Democratic governors if applicable, and distinguished party members -- which could include former U.S. presidents, vice presidents or former congressional leaders. In Minnesota, that includes former Vice President Walter Mondale. The same formula is applied to the other states.
In Minnesota, there are 47 pledged delegates elected from the districts and 16 at-large delegates chosen at the state convention. There are also nine pledged party-leader and elected-official -- called PLEO -- delegates and 16 unpledged delegates, 14 of whom are superdelegates who are free to select whomever they like at the convention.
The nine PLEO delegates are selected at the state convention. They are bound by presidential preference determined at the caucuses and are selected in the following order of importance: big-city mayors and statewide elected officials, state legislative leaders, state legislators, and other state, county and local elected officials and party leaders.
Two unpledged add-on delegates are selected at the state convention as well. Like superdelegates, they have free reign to choose the candidate of their liking.
Of the 14 superdelegates from Minnesota, six have not endorsed a presidential candidate: Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Reps. Tim Walz and Collin Peterson, DFL Chair Brian Melendez, DFL Vice Chair Donna Cassutt and Democratic National Committeeman Ken Foxworth.
Four have endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton: Mondale and Democratic National Committee members Jackie Stevenson, Rick Stafford and Hubert "Buck" Humphrey.
Two have endorsed Sen. Barack Obama: Reps. Keith Ellison and Betty McCollum, and two have endorsed John Edwards: Rep. Jim Oberstar and Democratic National Committee member Nancy Larson.
