Spitzer, a Clinton supporter, is under pressure to resign. He remains a superdelegate only as long as he is governor, according to Democratic National Committee rules.
If he quits, he would not be replaced as a superdelegate. Lt. Gov. David Paterson would become governor and he already supports Clinton, meaning the New York senator would lose one superdelegate.
Okay, that’s other information I didn’t know. How many superdelegates are there? Would the loss of one matter that much, if it meant that the others were sent an effective message?
