Top Hillary Fundraisers to Dean: Butt Out of Superdelegate Debate
Top Hillary Fundraisers Rip Into Howard Dean For Saying Super-Dels Should Announce Support "Starting Now"
By Greg Sargent - April 18, 2008, 2:27PM



Two of Hillary Clinton's most prominent fundraisers tore into Howard Dean in interviews with me today, sharply criticizing the DNC chair for saying yesterday that super-delegates should say which Dem candidate they support "starting now."

"Governor Dean should do what he has said he will do -- refrain from injecting himself into the primary process, as millions of Democrats have yet to cast their votes," Hillary national finance chair Hassan Nemazee, one of the most influential fundraisers in the Democratic Party, told me today.

"If he wishes to do something productive," Nemazee continued, "he should exhibit the leadership necessary to resolve the Florida and Michigan impasse, which has disenfranchised millions of Democratic voters."

1. How dare super delegates decide to endorse before the primaries are finished!
Says the Clinton campaign, that had 200 super delegates endorse Hillary before a single primary or caucus had been run.

lol

2. Nemazee sounds like he doesn't believe the supers will support Hillary.

That is some really big money Dean is having to fight to keep order in the party.

I admire him for having the courage. I guess he has nothing to lose.

5. Why are Hillary supporters against having the superdelegates announce their candidate of choice?
Do they suspect that Hillary will not get very many of them?
