College Junior Breakfasts With Chelsea Clinton
21-Year-Old Wisconsin Super Delegate Gets Face Time With Former First Daughter
By KAREN TRAVERS
Feb. 11, 2008 —


Jason Rae is a typical junior in college.

He spends several hours a day in class at Marquette University in Wisconsin where he is majoring in history and political science. He is closely following the Marquette basketball team and has the Golden Eagles' schedule memorized.

But not many 21-year-olds start their Monday with a personal breakfast with Chelsea Clinton, as Rae did this morning at the student union at the nearby University of Milwaukee.

Rae got the one-on-one treatment from the former  and possibly future  first daughter because he is a Democratic National Committee member from Wisconsin and thus a "super delegate," one of the 796 free agents who can back any candidate in the race for the Democratic nomination.


Never Voted Before
Rae may be a typical college junior but he is certainly not the typical DNC super delegate.

10. I am more concerned about the age and gender of the person she had the personal breakfast with....
...I am certain nothing was ment to be inapropriate, but you know that this will be worked over by the RW MSN!

3. I really don't care
I am jealous though. I've thought of myself as a young voter at 22 and this guy is even younger than I am.

5. This is entirely within the rules that the party has set up. Why are you making it such a big deal?

16. There was a superdelegate on TV earlier today
he said he'd gotten a phone call from Chelsea, as well as a few calls from the Obama camp.

Who's Obama pimping out?

7. Hey, you can't talk about Chelsea lobbying super delegates
She's only a 27 year old Yale graduate who works for a hedge fund and who is supporting her mother, who won't produce her tax returns.

8. Ummm...
I don't really think you should be able to get on the DNC when you're too young to vote (read the article - he was 17 when elected). That's just unreal. Of course, what he needs to do is leave a greeting saying 'I don't answer anonymous calls' so he can get and keep the phone #s of all these imortant people who are calling him!

As for Chelsea having breakfast with him, that's OK. I guess he will make up his own mind. He is lucky though, she's terribly hot. If I were a superdelegate I would demand that the Clinton campaign only communicate with me through Chelsea.
