Superdelegate Endorsement List
Here's a list of superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic Convention that have officially announced who they plan to nominate.
We have also created a list of superdelegates that have not committed to a candidate.
There are 794 (not including Michigan and Florida) total Democratic superdelegates that the nominees are trying to be endorsed by. This consists of 719 regular superdelegates and 76 unpledged add-ons. We will continue to add the unpledged add-ons as soon as they are named by each state. (Note: Democrats Abroad superdelegates get 1/2 vote each, so there are actually 798 superdelegates casting 794 votes).
From the Democratic Party Delegate Selection Rules:
UNPLEDGED AND PLEDGED PARTY LEADERS AND ELECTED OFFICIAL DELEGATES
1. The procedure to be used for certifying unpledged party leader and elected official delegates is as follows:
Not later than March 1, 2008, the Secretary of the Democratic National Committee shall officially confirm to each State Democratic Chair the names of the following unpledged delegates who legally reside in their respective state and who shall be recognized as part of their state’s delegation unless any such member has publicly expressed support for the election of, or has endorsed, a presidential candidate of another political party;
1. The individuals recognized as members of the DNC (as set forth in Article Three, Sections 2 and 3 of the Charter of the Democratic Party of the United States); and,
2. The Democratic President and the Democratic Vice President of the United States, if applicable; and,
3. All Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives and all Democratic members of the United States Senate; and,
4. The Democratic Governor, if applicable; and,
5. All former Democratic Presidents, all former Democratic Vice Presidents, all former Democratic Leaders of the U.S. Senate, all former Democratic Speakers of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democratic Minority Leaders, as applicable, and all former Chairs of the Democratic National Committee.
Super-delegates highlighted in red are from Michigan or Florida and do not count toward the nomination at this time.
