A Super-Delegate Meets With Hillary And Obama, Comes Away Unswayed
Rep. Tim Mahoney, an uncommitted super-del, is getting aggressively courted by both Hillary and Obama, but to no avail, it turns out.
Mahoney met privately with Hillary yesterday, and today with Obama.
But whatever charm was exercised on him by these two candidates behind closed doors apparently didn't sway him. Mahoney's spokesperson, Leslie Pollner, told me a few moments ago:
"He intends to remain uncommitted."
Separately, South Carolina Rep. John Spratt, another super-del who met with Hillary yesterday and encountered Obama on the House floor today, is now leaning towards Obama.
Late Update: It's worth noting that Mahoney is from Florida, and so doesn't count unless the delegation is seated, but the fact that both candidates are courting him suggests they expect this to happen in some capacity.
