HuffPost: Meeting Wisconsin's Superdelegates

Current | Politics | Election 2008

huffpostsoffthebus030308.jpgDane101 was recently invited by the HuffingtonPost to help "HuffPost's OffTheBus Superdelegate Investigation." (hat tip to Frank Paynter for putting us on their radar). HuffPost was gracious enough to give us permission to use any of the content generated by our contributors on dane101. However, our contributors, Katjusa Cisar and Nathan Comp, ended up being assigned to interview superdelegates in Ohio instead of Wisconsin, and because that runs counter to our Madison- and Wisconsin-centric content mission we don't have much to offer on the local superdelegate front (at this time). So it goes. We still love the idea of using sunshine on the unaccountable and some other dedicated citizen journalists have provided profiles on HuffPost for a handful of the 16 WiscoSupes.

Find out information on the mysterious few who could decide how the Democratic side of the election goes. Profiles currently available for viewing include: Paula Zellner of Porterfield, Joe Wineke of Verona, Lena Taylor of Milwaukee, Melissa Schroeder of Merrill, and Jason Rae of Milwaukee. More profiles are forthcoming.

The project was put together as part of HuffPo's "citizen journalist arm" called "OffTheBus." The goal was to collect information on the 794 superdelegates who "are not accountable to anyone."
