Hillary Loses a Superdelegate

With the news that Eliot Spitzer has officially resigned, Hillary Clinton has lost a Superdelegate, permanently!

Spitzer’s Superdelegate status was tied directly to his position as a Democratic Governor. By resigning effective Monday, he will no longer hold the position that Superdelegate is tied to. New York’s Lieutenant Governor David Paterson will take over as Governor.

Naturally, one may assume that Paterson, a Hillary supporter, would take over his status as Superdelegate. However, Paterson himself is already Superdelegate. This Superdelegate position will not be replaced.

Therefore, Hillary has sustained a net loss of ONE all important Superdelegate.
