So, how will Boyd Ritchie vote as a superdelegate?

Any indications of the way the wind is blowing? Inquiring minds want to know! :D

1. I saw him speak about this on Friday

He insisted there was no "smoke filled room" where the supers will secretly decide for us. I tend to believe him since we all know the Democratic Party cannot be accused of being organized, and good luck with herding cats.

He also said most supers are elected officials and have to be cognizant of their constituencies if they want to keep their jobs. He said he would be in a dilemma if the popular vote in Texas went one way and the delegate total another way, as will most certainly be the case.

I have no idea which way he's leaning, if he's leaning at all; he did not tip his hand. However, because they broke the rules, he was strongly opposed to seating MI and FL unless they have a re-vote.

2. He is also up for re-election this year.

Heh.

4. So who is running against him? Do we know yet? n/t

5. Not sure. I am even not sure if he will stand again.

I think someone on here (sonia?) said that Mauro was considering a run.

I wish Ritchie *would* run again. That way he would at least be thinking think twice about who he is supporting with his superdelegate vote. Or does he keep a superdelegate vote if he gets defeated in June? Not sure.

3. Like everyone else in the TDP power structure
