Super Web Site for Democratic Party Super Delegates

Super Delegates! This new phrase has become a buzzword on the news networks as the pundits try to predict who will become the next Democratic Party Nominee for President of the United States of America. One Associated Content Producer recently wrote a parody about this new term, calling the Super Delegate the Newest Super Hero! Since the democratic race is now closer than any in recent history, the ability of the political forecasters to predict who the nominee will be has become an impossibility. Most cannot talk about who will win the nomination without mentioning the ranks of the Super Delegates in the Democratic Party. With the race so close, it is possible that by the end of the primary process, neither candidate might emerge with enough delegates to have the nomination in hand before the Democratic National Convention. The Democrats have this "wildcard" in their nominating process that can change the outcome of the race. This obscure fact of the nominating process has come to the forefront as the race tightens up. Now there is a website that seeks to help define who these people are, and help voters find them so they can try to influence how they will vote.

This new website(created late January, 2008), Superdelegates.org, attempts to track this influential list of democrats. Developed by a concerned citizen with a lot of web savvy, Rick Klau, the site encourages participation to help define what was once a murky list of influential Democrats. Rick developed the site "in an attempt to shed some light on this process"(the Democratic Party's delegate process). The website helps define who these Super Delegates are, where they are, and who they are currently endorsing. There are 796 Super Delegates. He has populated the list with initial data on these people, but the site can be edited by anyone, so if you have information about a super delegate, you can enter it quickly and easily using the wiki styled interface.
