And Then There Were Two


I'm aware that this story is a little dated, but I thought that it was noteworthy that, after Bruce Braley (UI Law alum) endorsed Obama several days ago, there are now only two Iowa superdelegates left to make a decision.


According to Congresspedia, the score is currently 6-3. Here's the breakdown:


Obama: Congressman Dave Loebsack, Congressman Bruce Braley, Governor Chet Culver, Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald, DNC Member Richard Machacek, Deputy Chair of the Iowa Democratic Party Sarah Swisher


Clinton: Congressman Leonard Boswell, Iowa Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, DNC member Sandy Opstvedt


Undecided: Senator Tom Harkin, Iowa Democratic Party Chair Scott Brennan.


And Another Fun fact from Congresspedia I stumbled upon:


Obama has contributed $10,000 to Tom Harkin's campaign in an effort to woo him, while Clinton has donated a measly $25.


Twenty five dollars!? Is she Harkin's grandma?


"Hey Tom, here's 16 bucks I collected from some of my staff. A couple of the fives are soggy but if you lay them out to dry they should be all right. Anyway, hope everything's ok. Vote Hillary!"


This is getting embarrassing.
