Notes from a non-superdelegate
Posted by: Krista
Here’s a snippet from an email someone forwarded to me. It gives you a little glimpse into the life of a potential super delegate (edited for typos):
Have had a few calls today from “friends” of O and H, mistakenly thinking that I am a candidate for superdelegate (I pulled out when i could not attend the dems Abroad convention/caucus in Vancouver).
Obama’s people very low key. Odd thing was the 2 from Clinton people. One was almost threatening even after i thought I made it clear that i wasn’t a superdelegate. The other, once i gave my status, said “Oh well, it’s probably fruitless anyway.”
I don’t know whether the author is an Obama or Clinton supporter, but I appreciate reading an account of the author’s interaction with each campaign’s staff. This is a side most of us will never see.

…and you always know that a fowarded email is correct and true :rollseyes:
If it wasn’t from a source I knew to be 100% reliable, I wouldn’t have posted it. And when I say 100%, I mean 100%.
Considering that the email came from my father, and he has no reason to fudge the facts, I’d agree with the “100% reliable” assessment of the above post!
I should have clarified in the entry that the source was reliable. I wouldn’t have posted it otherwise.
On another note, I also talked to a superdelegate who changed phone numbers because the two campaigns wouldn’t stop calling.
Funny because I have a completely reliable source who is a SUPER Delegate and told me both campaigns have been cordial, and persistent.
I would love the name of this person so I can speak personally to the Clinton campaign about who made these overtures.
