Youngest Super Delegate

Jason Rae is the youngest Super Delegate. He is from Wisconsin and has pledged his support to Barack Obama. “As someone elected to represent that generation, it seems fairly clear that they are speaking out in favor of Senator Obama,” he said.

“I was on the fence and had been the target of heavy lobbying from both campaigns,” he explained in an e-mail. For. Sen. Barack Obama, “I had heard from Senator (John) Kerry and met with Michelle Obama. For Sen. Hillary Clinton, “I met with Chelsea Clinton and spoke to Madeline Albright and President Clinton.”

Superdelegates are non-elected voters who have the full power of delegates despite not being selected through primaries or caucuses. In other words, they aren't committed to vote for one candidate or another because they aren't assigned by the votes of others.
