Dem Congressman Walz Endorses Obama Because His Constituents Did, Too

By Eric Kleefeld - February 6, 2008, 11:12PM
For anybody worried about the super-delegates overruling the wishes of the democratically elected pledged delegates, Barack Obama's latest Congressional endorsement should be taken as an encouraging sign. Congressman Tim Walz (MN) announced that he's backing Obama now, even though he really likes both candidates. And here's why:
"Last night at the Democratic caucuses, the voters of southern Minnesota overwhelmingly supported Senator Barack Obama and his hopeful vision for positive change. As a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention, I will honor their decision and support Senator Obama."
If Walz is following the decision of the people in his district, could the super-delegates as a whole actually refuse to honor the decision of the country?
