Welcome to

The primary season will end today with South Dakota and Montana voters casting their ballots. Florida may still play a key role in selecting a Democratic nominee. As Whitney Ray tells us, the state’s undeclared superdelegates may hold the power to give one candidate the push needed to pass the delegate threshold.

Here it Hear: Superdelegates to Play Huge Role as Primary Season Comes to an End

Tuesday morning, Jon Ausman and 11 other superdelegates in Florida were undeclared. Ausman was leaning toward Barack Obama and then he made his announcement.

“He is going to be our democratic nominee. That being said Hillary Rodman Clinton is the person I’m supporting,” said Ausman.

Others came out Tuesday in support for Obama. Reports claim superdelegates could put voters in a position to push Obama over the top when the polls close. Superdelegate Allan Katz is supporting the Illinois senator.

“The pledged delegates are close enough between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, even though Senator Obama clearly had a majority, that some of the superdelegates given the number of superdelegates available are necessary for whoever the candidate is,” said Katz.

Five of the superdelegates including two with offices in the Capitol say they won’t pick a side until there’s a clear nominee. Florida Democratic party Chairwoman Karen Thurman said it would be good if voters had the final say in selecting a nominee.

“That is the one thing that continues to grow with 35 million democrats voting for one of the other. They’ve already placed a vote much more so than the Republicans have they’re ready to go back in November,” said Thurman.

If more superdelegates don’t weight in before the votes from the final two primaries are tallied, Florida’s undeclared could play a huge role in the selecting a nominee.
