Wisconsin's 17 year-old unpledged delegate

[LiberalFighter]

Who here complained about Jason Rae being too young to be a delegate? And that he shouldn't be an unpledged delegate?

Wooed Wisconsin super delegate makes his decision (updated) - Daily Kos

Don't forget that the convention is held August 25-28. That is over 6 months from now.

1. He's a smart kid!

5. And he knows more about what's going on then the vast majority

I wish older adults had a fraction of the knowledge Jason has when they go into the booth to vote.

2. I'm glad he's supporting Obama, but he's still too young to be a delegate

you should be old enough to vote.

6. He's 21. He was 17 when he ran for DNC member.

He was properly elected by the statewide convention. I attended that convention, and voted for him--he's been politically active longer than most of the people there.

7. oh ok, the OP said he was 17

3. He's 21 and he's pledged for Obama

Friends--



I wanted to write to you today, before you see it in the news, to inform you that I have officially endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. This was a difficult decision for me to make. While I had every intention of remaining neutral in the race, Tuesdayʼs primary results showed a huge movement in Wisconsin, a movement of which I want to be a part.



Back in 2004, I ran for the Democratic National Committee because I wanted to represent Americaʼs next generation of voters. Well, yesterday, that generation spoke. According to CNN exit polls, 73% of 18-to-24 year olds turned out in support of Senator Obama. That is an outstanding number. But it wasnʼt only young people turning out; people all over Wisconsin turned out overwhelming to support Senator Obama. I have a responsibility to listen to the voices that I am representing.



I do firmly believe that we have two qualified, talented candidates seeking the nomination. However, when I see one candidate energizing a new generation like Senator Obama is, I cannot help but be impressed and inspired. As I think about who I want to lead our country and party forward, I cannot think of another candidate to do that than Senator Barack Obama.



I just wanted to take a moment to share this note with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. All my best to you for a wonderful day.



Respectfully,

Jason
