Picky, Picky: Dem Delegates Dumped

Posted on 27 March 2008 by Danielle Belton

At the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Political Fix Blog we learn that it’s not just the Ron Paul-ites getting particular over cherry picking delegates to send to the convention. The Clintonistas are giving their rolls a thorough run through as well. So thorough that some die hard Clinton supporters found their names mysteriously purged from the list.

The Democratic Party sent the list of elected delegates to the campaigns, and the list of Clinton supporters came back with many names crossed out. One such delegate was former state rep Craig Hosmer, Greene County Democratic Party chairman. “As far as I know, we’re back on,” he said Wednesday. Hosmer speculated that part of the problem is that some of the delegates hadn’t been active in the Clinton campaign. As county party chairman, he had maintained public neutrality until the county caucus.

Who knew the Democratic Caucus Santa would be busting out his “naughty or nice” list mid-March!
