The Field announces the opportunity of the 2008 campaign...
Convince a Superdelegate!
Yes, that's right, colleagues. We've got a live one: Debra Kozikowski - my boss at The Field - is a living, breathing and uncommitted Superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention in August.
She's been uncommitted ever since her candidate, John Edwards, left the contest.
Some minutes ago, she posted this invitation:
"Here’s your challenge. Think about me wearing my super duper hat reading your posts. Convince me why I should deliver my superdelegate vote to Senator Obama or for the minority here who support Senator Clinton — you too can rise to the ocassion with civility and grace."
More at the jump...
You now have the chance to succeed at what the candidates and their surrogates have so far not achieved: Putting forth your best cases for why Superdelegate Deb Kozikowski should cast her vote in August for your candidate.
Super-Deb has agreed to offer responses, when you succeed at inspiring them, directly to you, courtesy of the comments section on this thread.
She's been pursued not just by the candidates, but also by the great mentioners of the political press corps.... Interviewed by MSNBC, The New York Times, Newsweek, and other media... She's one of the few that are going to decide this thing... and she's giving you - readers of The Field (and right now, invited Kossacks) - a clean shot at putting her into the ranks of the committed.
And so, with no further ado, this post is open for your commenting pleasure. You could go down in history as your candidate's most effective advocate.
Okay, gang. She'll be reading your every word at this link:
