Saturday's Delegate Selection and State Committee Meeting

by: Douglas E. Lindner

Sat Apr 26, 2008 at 23:21:34 PM EDT

So, as many are aware, on Saturday the remainder of New Hampshire's Democratic National Convention delegation was chosen (interestingly, a matter of some contention, affirmative action rules gave the Clinton campaign New Hampshire's seat on the Credentials Committee by default), followed by the unanimous selection of superdelegate Ray Buckley to be Chair of the delegation. Also, the state Democratic committee met, choosing two new DNC members: State Senator Peter Burling was elected, defeating incumbent Gaetan DiGangi (who graciously asked that the vote be recorded as unanimous for Burling), and our own Kathy Sullivan was elected unanimously and unopposed.

Congratulations to the new delegates and DNC members (and to both of the new DNC members, who were each chosen to be a delegate today as well), and don't forget to pre-register for the State Democratic Convention, coming up on May 17.

Nice to meet those of you I saw today, and sorry to those I saw and didn't get to introduce myself to--I'm sure everyone here is looking forward to next Saturday.

Edit: I had forgotten to reflect that Sen. Burling, too, was chosen to be both a DNC member AND a delegate today--I fixed it after being reminded by the Chairman's comment below.
