Talk about a lack of transparency! The GOP doesnt have these issues with smoke filled deal cutting. All delegates are pledged to our candidate for the first ballot. I find the dems predicament an electoral outrage! And lets wait to see if the MI adn FL delegations arent seated. Think of that- Florida adn the disenfranchisement. Sweet!

What does it mean that neither Attorney General Nixon nor Auditor Montee is a superdelegate yet when the rest of the party’s top elected officials are?

“The GOP doesnt have these issues with smoke filled deal cutting. All delegates are pledged to our candidate for the first ballot. I find the dems predicament an electoral outrage!”

Actually, the Missouri GOP has a much more questionable system. Lacking any proportional allocation of its delegates, a Republican candidate who got 37 percent of the state’s popular vote in the GOP primary will get 100 percent of its delegates.

The democrat plan is much fairer than the republicans.

In response to Mike94: Montee and Nixon will be delegates, if they wish, as part of the 9 delegates deemed “party leaders” who are among the 25 committed at-large delegates (part of the 72 at stake on Super Tuesday)

The super delegates above are selected by the Democratic National Committee, not the state party.
However, Richard A. Gephardt’s status may be questioned next month, some party insiders say, to verify that he still has a residence in Missouri. All super delegates must be residents in the state

Hasn’t it been rather questionable as to whether or not Gephardt has actually lived in Missouri for YEARS??

Good job Jo. The reason that Nixon and Montee are not Supers, the only non federal elected official, that is not part of a National DNC Committee (Like Robin C and Maria C-N) is the Governor. Since the Democrats have no Governor that slot does not exist.

This is a much fair representation of the vote in MO becuase all 9 Congressional Districts have delegates allocated by votes IN THAT District. The 25 State Delegates are allocated based on the statewide vote vs the Republican winner take all. It is much more complicated than that of the GOP but more representative of the actual make up of the voters

Are Democrats now saying that “Winner-take-All” is unfare, Then are they supporting the Electoral Votes in the General election allocated by District like Maine does? What about the Ballot initiative in California to allocate by Congressional District for the ‘08 General? The MO Dems where calling that voter fraud.

I can’t wait for the fireworks in the Dem party if Hillary steals this election.
