On Jennifer McClellan

By Steven R. Minor

I read here and elsewhere that superdelegate Jennifer McClellan switched over to Obama, which is good because I'd think her otherwise incomprehensible support for Ms. Clinton would be an albatross around her neck for the rest of her career.

How super can a delegate be who wasn't supporting the likely (and history-making) nominee, who carried the Virginia primary (and the precincts of her own district) by a landslide, had the support of the old school Governor and the senior Congressman, raised $300 million, and was never married to Bill Clinton?
