Dean: Super-Delegates Don't Have To Follow The Voters
In an endorsement of the Clinton campaign's position on super-delegates, Howard Dean affirmed that supers do not have to follow either the pledged delegates or the aggregate popular vote in making their decisions.
"They should use whatever yardstick they want," Dean said. "That's what the rules provide for."
The Clinton campaign will in all likelihood have to rely on supers to get the nomination, with Barack Obama widely expected to get a majority of pledged delegates — and they'll need to have people reminded that the rules provide for this in order to maintain their legitimacy.
