All the attention being paid to the potential role of super-delegates in the nominating process has gotten me thinking about my own experiences as a "super-delegate."
I was elected as Vermont's Democratic National Committeeman in 1988, and served in that position until I moved out of state in 1997. That meant I was a super-delegate to the 1992 and 1996 conventions.
I'm sure I'm not the only (current or former) super-delegate here on dKos, but I haven't seen any discussion from them, so thought I'd reflect on what it was like to be in that position - and about the role of super-delegates in this year's contest. I'd love to hear other folk's perspectives on it - especially (but certainly not only) folks who are or have been super-delegates. So indulge my little trip down memory lane as I think back on my super-delegate days.
