I forgot about the “superdelegates”. Now you have me worried.
Who chooses the “Superdelegates”? Is there any chance that they are just GOPe chosen votes for Bush?
I don’t really know, but it’s fair to assume they’re party people, I think the state chairman, and the state committee chooses the other two. The rest I think are elected officials. Of course I wouldn’t assume they’re all Jeb supporters, I believe the selections are done on a state basis. And with or without them, a majority is a majority.
The GOP equivalent of ‘superdelegates’ are each state’s Republican state chair and two National Committee members, along with US Congressmen and governors. Around 15% of the GOP delegates will be in this category and are unpledged.
