Gore ahead among Democratic ‘superdelegates’
Gore
ByEUN-KYUNGKIM
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — A1 Gore has
: pledges of support from more than
400 “superdelegates” the Democ-
ratic Party
leaders and
elected offi-
cials who will
help choose a
nominee at this
summer’s
national cpn-
v e n t i o n ,
according to an
Associated
Press survey.
The support gives the vice presi-
dent a big jump toward the 2,170
delegates he needs to seal the nom-
. ination. Gore has won 42 delegates
in presidential contests so far and is
sure to pick up many more in Tues-
day’s primaries.
His delegate count dwarfs that of
rival Bill Bradley, who has less
than three dozen superdelegates in
the AP survey. Bradley has won 27

delegates in races so far this year,
and both candidates are competing
for 1,315 delegates next Tuesday in
contests in 15 states and American
Samoa.
Gore said he isn’t taking any-
thing for granted.
“I don’t think that superdelegate
support is worth much unless you
have a lot of support at the grass
roots,” the vice president said Fri-
day in an interview. “But combined
with grass-roots support, it can
help a great deal to have superdele-
gates speaking for you and endors-
ing your campaign.”
An AP survey conducted over
the past few weeks found people
will be chosen by party leaders
later in the election season.
The Gore campaign put its
superdelegate count at 640 and
included people who endorsed the
vice president, attended a cam-
paign event or personally gave him
Terry Vogt.
Visitation will begin at 10 a.m.
on Saturday at the Funeral Home
with the timeral service beginning
at 2 p.m. at the Funeral Home with
David B. Vaughan, officiating.
Graveside services will be at Mem-
ory Gardens in Baytown at 1 p.m.
on Monday with the Rev. D.C.
Mangum, officiating.
Funeral arrangements entrusted
to Vaughan’s Funeral Home of
Boeme.
HARRISON
Sandra Nell Girouard Harrison
died peacefully Thursday, March 2,
2000, morning at her home in The
Woodlands, surrounded by family
and friends.
Sandra was born Sept. 9, 1941,
in Port Arthur, Texas. *
She attended Neches-
Groves High School at Port Nech-
es, Texas, and Lamar University in
Beaumont. She was employed for
23 years as an expeditor by the
Bechtel Corp. and later as a Real-
their word. The actual number of
people who signed pledge cards
was somewhere in the “mid 500s,”
said Gore’s delegate director, Lau-
rie Moskowitz, who began recruit-
ing superdelegate support late last
summer.
“They are like an additional pri-
mary,” she said. “When we started
going about this, we had to take
this as seriously as we had to take
any March 7 state.”
The Bradley campaign would
not provide estimates, saying it
didn’t want to tip its hand to the
competition. But spokesman Tony
Wyche said, “I do think their
numbers are a littler higher on
their own side, and a little lower
on our side.”
Wyche underscored the fact that
superdelegates technically are
uncommitted until they cast their
votes at the national convention.
Signing a pledge card doesn’t guar-
antee a delegate’s support, especial-
ly if the person is an elected offi-
cial.

manager, said she wasn’t surprised
by Gore’s show of support among
the superdelegates.
“Look, they are the establish-
ment within the Democratic Party
and we always knew most of those
votes would be for A1 Gore,” she
said.
Superdelegates include Democ-
ratic National Committee members
and the party’s governors, senators
and U.S. representatives. They also
include current and former vice
presidents and other former Demo-
cratic leaders.
The Republican Party makes no
such provision for automatic dele-
gates, awarding all its seats through
the primaries, caucuses and state
party rules.
John Greenfield, a national com-
mitteeman from Idaho, said he dis-
likes the way the “superdelegate
system” favors the incumbent.
“Superdelegates are subjected to
a lot of arm-twisting by the admin-
istration, if we’re in power, so it sort
of hands the nomination to the vice
president without sufficient regard
to his capabilities,” said Greenfield,
who likes the vice president but has
committed his support to Bradley.
But Ray Buckley, a DNC mem-
ber from New Hampshire and a
Gore delegate, called it foolish for
Bradley to disregard a significant
number of delegates who could
inch him closer to securing the
nomination. Regardless of whose
numbers are being used, he said,
Gore has more than 400 delegates
in his pocket.
If Bradley actively sought the
support of the Democratic leader-
ship, “I think that perhaps he’d be
looking at a different ballgame
today.” r
