Wisconsin Superdelegate Endorses Barack Obama for President

Melissa Schroeder Cites Obama’s Electability

Chicago, IL – Today Wisconsin superdelegate Melissa Schroeder endorsed Barack Obama for president, citing his unique ability to stand up to the special interests and unite all Americans to bring about real, meaningful change.

Melissa Schroeder said: “After much consideration, I have decided to endorse Senator Barack Obama. My decision came down to electability and who I felt would do a better job of unifying this country for a common purpose. Obama’s message of hope and change has touched millions of voters in a way that I haven’t seen since the late 1960’s. People from every walk of life, young and the not so young, Democrats, Independents and some Republicans, are all rallying around a belief that change can happen if we want it bad enough. With Obama as our nominee, I am confident that this November we will increase our majority in the House and Senate and elect a Democrat to the White House.”

Melissa Schroeder is Wisconsin’s 7th District Democratic Party Secretary.

5. wow! only 36 behind C in Super-D's--I remember when it was more than 100

but most of C's SD's came last year when she was the "inevitable nominee" while many of O's have come since Iowa.

8. Spitzer is a super delegate as of now

What happens to his status? Does anyone know?:shrug:

[MaineDem]

11. Once he's a former Governor he's a former Superdelegate. n/t

[SoCalDem]

12. Will the new gov support her n/t

[MaineDem]

14. I believe he's already committed to her

He was a superdelegate as a member of the DNC.

[SoCalDem]

17. and we know old Bruno, the new lieut. gov is not in her camp

:rofl:

[MaineDem]

18. I think that's a safe bet.

:)

20. Let me get this straight, both spitzer and Patterson were super delegates.

Since, Patterson moved up into Spitzer's position and no one filled Patterson,
what happened to that super delegate?

[SoCalDem]

21. poof! gone.. like Lieberman's n/t

[MaineDem]

23. I believe another can be named

Since Paterson was an At-Large DNC member he was appointed by Dean. I don't know if the Rules allow for another to be named at this point.

If he were an elected DNC member there are procedures to name/elect a replacement.

15. He loses his SD status. The new NY gov was a SD before, and he supports HRC,

so it is a 1 loss for HRC.
