Those darned (super) delegates
Superdelegates.org is keeping tabs on the oft mentioned superdelegates. But who are these people? In Florida, as everywhere, they are politicians and party activists who may wind up bearing an awful burden in Denver (although I find it increasingly unlikely that they will be a factor -- not only because they don't appear to want to be, but also because I think the Democrats will have a free and clear nominee going into the convention...)

Anyhoo, here's the Florida list.

Superdelegates pledged to Hillary Clinton:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL)
Rep. Alcee Hastings (FL)
Rep. Corrine Brown (FL)
Rep. Kendrick Meek (FL)
DNC Raul Martinez (FL) - candidate for Congress against Lincoln Diaz Balart
Hillary's full list

Pledged to Barack Obama:

Rep. Robert Wexler (Barack's Florida co-chair)
Barack's full list

Still unpledged from Florida:

Sen. Bill Nelson
Rep. Allen Boyd
Rep. Kathy Castor
Rep. Ron Klein
Rep. Tim Mahoney
DNC Karen Thurman - FL Chair (FL)
DNC Rudolph Parker - (FL)
DNC Terrie Brady (FL)
DNC Mitchell Ceasar (FL)
DNC Hon. Joyce Cusack (FL)
DNC Diane Glasser (FL)
DNC Chuck Mohlke (FL)
DNC Janee Murphy (FL)
DNC Jon Ausman (FL)

By the way, there's lots of talk in the Black community about how Meek and Hastings' constituents voted in the January 29 primary. Here's the breakdown, courtesy of the Sun-Sentinel:

Hastings' district (23rd Congressional)
Obama - 51.7%
Clinton - 41.9
Others - 6.4

Meek's district (17th Congressional)
Obama - 55.1%
Clinton - 39.9
Others - 5.0

How Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties voted overall:
Clinton - 56.2
Obama - 33.4
Others - 10.4
