Yes, I’m a “Superdelegate”

I am a “superdelegate,” yes I am. I’ve worked hard for the Democratic Party, its candidates, and its values, and I’ve earned this appellation. (And, for the record, the correct term for the group is PLEOs (Party Leaders and Elected Officials).
DO NOT come for me about Party rules, PLEO rules, primary rules, or caucus rules, unless you have done your homework and reviewed your history. Word to the wise: All you MoveOn petition writers should delete my name from your list.
If you have a question or concern about the process, I am happy to answer or address them.
But don’t dare accuse me of subverting the will of the people, being bought by somebody, advancing special interests, or being concerned only about myself.
My history of commitment to the Party, its values, AND to my people speaks for itself.

Jigsaw Puzzles & A Swear Jar: Democratic Convention Chief Prepares For Philly

Who would you turn to to build a temporary city that will come to life for four days, then disappear? That’s what planning and managing a national political convention amounts to, and the Democrats have turned to a Pentecostal minister and jigsaw puzzle master with a gift for organization and politics.

The Rev. Leah Daughtry was CEO of the 2008 convention, remembered for Barack Obama’s speech in Denver’s football stadium. Now the party has turned to her to handle the one in Philadelphia next summer.
