I think that a Democratic member of Congress who changed his or her party affiliation to Republican would automatically lose superdelegate status. With Lieberman there may have been some question about whether he was a superdelegate to begin with; he was a self-described "Independent Democrat" who won his seat by beating the Democratic nominee (Ned Lamont) but who then caucused with the Democrats. I thought there was also some rule that you can't be a superdelegate if you endorsed the Republican candidate, so if Lieberman had a Convention vote, he lost it by endorsing McCain before the Convention.

I knew more about this in 2008. What sticks in my mind now is that there are fairly lengthy and detailed rules but that there are nevertheless some gray areas that might have to be interpreted.

How can that be alright with anyone? Its like flaunting corruption.

Are you sure you are in the right group?

Do you not know who Obi-Wan is from Star Wars? That is the part where he used Jedi Mind trick..that was in answer to the question how no one sees it as corruption...The DNC uses Mind tricks and points to GOP...Man you made me feel bad in not getting Star Wars joke
