Doug Masson has a list of Indiana’s Democratic super delegates — those delegates whose vote for the Democratic nominee counts more than the little guys’.
The “superdelegates” are those delegates to the Democratic National Party that are not selected through the primary or caucus process. They get their position by being elected party members or members of the party establishment. Near as I can figure, the Indiana based superdelegates are as follows:
Sen. Evan Bayh (IN)
DNC Joe Andrew (IN) – Former DNC national chairman
DNC Dan Parker – Indiana state Democratic Party chair
DNC Phoebe Crane – DNC member out of Whitestown, IN
DNC Bob Pastrick – DNC member and (I believe) former East Chicago mayor
(These folks have already apparently endorsed Hillary Clinton)Rep. Peter Visclosky (IN-01)
Rep. Joe Donnelly (IN-02)
Rep. Brad Ellsworth (IN-08)
Rep. Baron Hill (IN-09)
Cordelia Lewis Burks – Indiana state Democratic Party vice-chair
Connie Thurman – DNC member out of Marion County
(These folks have apparently not endorsed anyone yet.)
