Democratic Convention Watch: Illinois Superdelegate Williams-Burnett Endorses Obama

Illinois Superdelegate Williams-Burnett Endorses Obama
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
We’ve seen Darlena Williams-Burnett mentioned several times as backing Obama but none of the sources met our standards. Ms. Williams-Burnett was kind enough to answer some questions for us via email:
Can you tell us who you have endorsed to be the Democratic Nominee?
Yes, I am happy to confirm my support for Senator Obama. I made that commitment to the campaign some time ago.

Democratic Convention Watch: Florida and Michigan

Florida and Michigan
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
With all our superdelegate tracking, we’ve been remiss in following the Florida and Michigan stories. MyDD has two good posts today, one focusing on a joint statement from Governors Jennifer Granholm and Charlie Crist, and the other keys off a statement by DNC Chairman Howard Dean. But let me make the following point. There are a number of ways this could play out, and they are all “within the rules”
- Status Quo. No delegates from Florida or Michigan.
- The Credentials Committee seats one or both delegations as is. Totally within the rules. The Credentials Committee has the total power within the rules to seat or not seat any delegate as they choose, regardless of any previous DNC rules.
- The Credentials Committee seats the delegates, but makes each delegate worth half a vote, essentially restoring the originally proposed 50% penalty. Totally within the rules.
- The Credentials Committee seats the delegations, but makes sure they are split 50-50 between Obama and Clinton. Totally within the rules
- Either state submits a new delegate selection plan to the DNC. It is approved, and new delegates are selected. Totally within the rules. (And Delaware supposedly did this in a previous election year).
Now, will someone with some inside knowledge let us know where the Florida and Michigan delegations will be staying in Denver if they do get seated?

Florida delegates scrounging for Denver hotels
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
With all the political debate about Florida and Michigan, there are convention logistics that are very interesting. When the DNCC assigned hotel rooms in Denver to the delegations last November, Florida and was left out, and Michigan lost its hotel rooms at the Red Lion Inn in early January.
Now, we wrote in November:
