McGovern IS NOT A Superdelegate

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Super Delegates!!!

Sorry folks, I misread something in a story earlier after a commenter gave me a heads up, but the AP makes a point that McGovern IS NOT a superdelegate, so Obama only added 3 superdelegates today and Hillary didn’t lose one.

From the AP:

“Hillary, of course, will make the decision as to if and when she ends her campaign. But I hope that she reaches that decision soon so that we can concentrate on a unified party capable of winning the White House next November,” he said.

McGovern is not a superdelegate, one of the prominent Democrats who has a vote at the national convention.

So the info was right in the first place, then wrong, now right again. Sorry about any confusion.

Thanks to Alan for the tip.
