List of Democratic Party (United States) superdelegates, 2008
Encyclopedia
This is a list of Democratic party unpledged delegates, also known as superdelegate
s or automatic delegates, who voted in the 2008 Democratic National Convention
, the culmination of the Party's presidential nominating process that began with the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries
and caucuses.
At the time of Hillary Clinton's campaign suspension on June 7, 2008, the count was 246½ for her and 478 for Barack Obama
, with 99 still 'Uncommitted' of the 823½ total then existing, although this number represents the realignment of around 50 superdelegates who switched their support from Clinton to Obama when he had gained the majority of delegates. Clinton released her delegates during the convention.
The breakdown by position for Clinton was 144 DNC, 52½ Representatives, 14 Senators, 17 Add-ons, 10½ Governors, and 7½ DPLs;
the breakdown by position for Obama was 229 DNC, 157 Representatives, 34 Senators, 29 Add-ons, 20 Governors, and 9 DPLs;
and the breakdown for "Uncommitted" was: 39 DNC, 22 Representatives, 1.5 Senators, 32.5 Add-ons, 1 Governor, and 3 DPLs.
The following totals reflect the fact that superdelegates from Florida and Michigan will be seated at the convention, but with only one-half vote each, because of their states' violations of scheduling rules.
The PLEOs listed above currently represent a total of 745 votes. However, that tally is subject to change as events affect individual delegates. For example, the count has decreased due to the death of Rep. Tom Lantos
; the loss of one half of Ken Curtis'
vote because of his current residency in Florida; the resignation of Eliot Spitzer
as Governor of New York (his replacement, David Paterson
, was already a superdelegate as a DNC member); and the resignation of Representative Albert Wynn
. The count has increased because of the special-election victories of Reps. Bill Foster
(IL-14), André Carson
(IN-7), Jackie Speier
(CA-12), Don Cazayoux
(LA-6), Travis Childers
(MS-1), and Donna Edwards
(MD-4). A more complete history of superdelegate composition changes is provided in a later section.
Finally, note that the tallies here reflect eligibility only; the final, official vote tally will be determined solely by the number of eligible delegates who actually participate in the national convention.
Unpledged PLEO delegates should not be confused with pledged PLEOs. Under Rule 9.C, the pledged PLEO slots are allocated to candidates based on the results of the primaries and caucuses.
Notes:
¹ For purposes of this list members of Congress and governors are counted in that category even if they are also members of the DNC or are a Distinguished Party Leader (DPL). The DNC, however, considers such delegates to be DNC members or DPL's first. The following members of Congress and governors are either DNC members or are DPL's: Reps. Joe Baca, Mike Honda, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, Gregory Meeks, Nancy Pelosi, and Maxine Waters. Sens. Robert Byrd (DPL), Chris Dodd (DPL), Harry Reid, and Debbie Stabenow. Govs. Tim Kaine, Joe Manchin, Ruth Ann Minner, David Paterson, and Ed Rendell (DPL). FL and MI delegations not yet updated to reflect full votes.
² Includes former presidents, former vice presidents, former house and senate leaders, and former party chairs.
* Democrats Abroad have ½ vote. [Florida, and Michigan superdelegates not yet updated for full votes.]

Composition
The Democratic Party's official rules do not use the term "superdelegate." This is an informal name for about 20% of all delegates, whose status as delegates is independent of primary and caucus results and who are officially unpledged to any candidate. About half of the superdelegates are current Democratic elected officials - Governors, U.S. Senators and Representatives. The other half consists of other party leaders.The following totals reflect the fact that superdelegates from Florida and Michigan will be seated at the convention, but with only one-half vote each, because of their states' violations of scheduling rules.

Unpledged add-ons
Under Rule 9.B, each state party selects one or more "unpledged add-on delegates," intended for other elected officials and party leaders not included in the above groups. There are 76 such slots, which are filled according to Democratic Party rules; in practice, it is usually the chairperson of the state Democratic Party who appoints the add-ons, effectively allowing the state chairs to multiply their vote. The formal selection of add-ons is performed at the state party's convention or at a state executive committee meeting. All 76 add-ons are scheduled to be identified by 21 June 2008.Totals
