Focus Shifts to Superdelegates
by Fred Mogul
NEW YORK, NY February 12, 2008 —REPORTER: With the Democratic primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton very close, super delegates are getting more attention.
They're high-level elected officials and party members who can attend the Democratic National Convention in August and back whomever they want.
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney says she's sticking with Clinton, regardless of what happens in the remaining primaries.
MALONEY: I am pledged to Hillary Clinton. My state voted for her, my city and my district. So, I will be voting for Hillary Clinton at the convention.
REPORTER: Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez says she too, is staying with Clinton because a majority of voters in her district, the city and the state voted for her.
