Is Lieberman considered a "Super Delegate" at Dem convention?

[book_worm]

he is an "independent democrat" who votes to organize the Senate w/ dems. Does that make him a super delegate? Given that he has endorsed McCain on the GOP side and campaigning with him, if he is a SD can't we strip him of having any role at the Democratic convention?

1. No, he's not even officially a democrat...

...he just caucuses with them.

2. No - He was stripped of his super-delegate status

I'm afraid I don't have a link. But it happened a few months ago.

3. No. But he is considered a "super dipsh*t".

6. Great! Thanks

[question everything]

8. I don't even know why he should have been stripped

He is not a Democrat and does not belong in the Convention. Period. This should have nothing to do with his support for McCain.

9. Lieberman, as I understand it, is still registered as a Democrat...

And calls himself an "independant Democrat." He was a Superdelegate becasue he served as a Democrat all those years. They yanked it because he backed John McCain.

5. No, he's not a member of the Democratic Party anymore

and besides, he's attending the Republican Convention this year instead of the Democratic Convention.

7. No, never was a SD this year, not stripped of status
