Democratic Convention Watch: The Michigan 36 – Obama gets 18 22

The Michigan 36 – Obama gets 18 22

WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

Update 5/31: Given today’s RBC decision to give Obama 59 delegates and 29.5 delegates votes out of Michigan, this post is no longer relevant, as the Obama campaign will be vetting all of its delegates, and any of the delegates below not approved by the Obama campaign will be taken off the list.
——————————————————————————-
Michigan selected 36 Uncommitted delegates at their District Conventions in April. The state of these 36 delegates, specifically whether they have officially endorsed Obama, has become important in advance of this weekend’s RBC meeting. Knowing how many of the 36 are committed to Obama could make the difference in what type of deal the Obama campaign is willing to accept. We asked our readers to help us out, and they did.

Information was hard to come by – We weren’t even able to find the names of 3 of the 36 delegates. We have all 36 names now. Continue Reading...

The Michigan 36

WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

Michigan selected 36 Uncommitted delegates at their District Conventions in April. The state of these 36 delegates, specifically whether they have officially endorsed Obama, is becoming important in advance of next weekend’s RBC meeting.

So we’re asking our readers to help us out. Go search the internets and give us the information we need – Name, CD, affiliation (union, etc) if any, endorsement status, and, of course, a link. Continue Reading...
