Dean Says Superdelegates are Free Agents

DNC Chairman Howard Dean said that the Democratic superdelegates "who are poised to select the party's presidential nominee are free to back whomever they wish at the end of the primaries, regardless of who leads in the popular vote or pledged delegates," the Los Angeles Times reports.

Said Dean: "They should use whatever yardstick they want. That's what the rules provide for."

"He also said superdelegates were free to weigh the disputed primary results in Florida and Michigan, two states that New York Sen. Clinton carried in the absence of campaigning by rival Barack Obama. The two campaigns have spent weeks wrangling over a plan that would seat delegates from those states, which voted earlier than the party allowed."
