Young People Are Super Delegates Too

With Obama and Clinton neck and neck in the race for the Democratic nomination, Super Delegates - party members, elected officials, and others who will automatically be granted a vote at the party's nominating convention - are getting a lot of ink these days.

Super Delegates sounds like a lot of old white guys in a smoke filled room - and in some cased, that's exactly what they are - but there are also a number of young Super Delegates, and it may be that they will have an outsized-say in who our nominee will be this year.

Here's a quick look at all the super delegates (to my knowledge) that are under the age of 36. The ones that are in bold are in the leadership of the College and Young Democrats of America. I'll have a longer post up later today outlining my thoughts on the criteria by which they should determine how to cast their ballot.

Update: I've added in whether or not these delegates have pledged to support a candidate. Most of this information comes from the Democratic Convention Watch. Where information conflicts with rumors in the youth vote community or with conversations I myself have had with the delegates, I've marked their status as "uncertain."
