Q: Do the presidential candidates have a say in who becomes their delegate? What is the presidential candidate right of review?
A: Yes, presidential candidates have an opportunity to review the list of individuals who have filed to run for delegate pledged to them. In accordance with Party rules, during candidate right of review, presidential candidates may approve a specific number of delegate candidates in order to ensure they are bona fide supporters. These approved delegate candidates must still be elected by the states.
There is possible, and there is likely. Not sure a divisive floor fight would do anyone any good. Given that Clinton has now publicly asked her supporters to back Obama, a switch in tactics at the convention would definitely split the party, and likely doom any chance at a democrat winning in November, regardless of who came out on top. And since Clinton does not now have the delegates to win the nomination, she'd be painted as a usurper, and would take most of the blame for a democratic loss in November. Barring a serious implosion by Obama, there's very little chance of delegates switching. |
