[edit] Superdelegate Status

Mike Panetta is not a superdelegate. This post from Democratic Convention Watch has it directly from Panetta that he is not a superdelegate. Even though the Democratic Call to Convention says that one of DC's add-ons must be used for its shadow representative, the DC selection plan (which was approved by the DNC) did not call for that. Whereas the shadow senators and congressional delegate are automatically superdelegates by virtue of their positions, the shadow representative is not. Panetta says he is hoping to be selected as a pledged PLEO, but that would be a spot that has already been counted for Obama in the results of the DC primary. Panetta wil not be a superdelegate this year. I don't know whether any of this (or the fact that he has endorsed Obama) is worth putting in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galois E (talkcontribs) 01:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
