Superdelegate resources
I've been spending this morning noodling around on the Web looking for information about the so-called Democratic superdelegates, and who they're supporting for the presidential nomination. If neither Clinton nor Obama has crossed the delegate threshold by the end of the primary season, these delegates will control the nomination. I've decided to contact any of those delegates with whom I have some connection, and encourage them to withhold their decision at least until the primaries are over.
My list of delegates includes, of course, the members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation, but also the delegates I've supported via Emily's List. I've been contributing to Emily's List and its candidates since 2005 (to the cumulative tune of over $1000).
SO - I've had to track down some information about all these folks, like their mailing addresses and which candidate, if either, they've already stated they support. This eventually led me to these resources:
- TheHill is maintaining a list of announced superdelegate endorsements.
- The mailing addresses of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives are available in several convenient downloadable formats from the Office of the Clerk.
- The corresponding U.S. Senate directory isn't quite as user-friendly, but all the information is available.
