Letter to the editor - Boswell's vote should reflect district's
Wednesday, February 13, 2008
Leonard Boswell's pledge to cast his
superdelegate vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton at
the National Democratic Convention troubles me.
Barack Obama won Boswell's 3rd District by a
large enough margin to win one more delegate
than Clinton, who came in third in that
district.
Yet Boswell's vote, which he has only
because he is our representative, will negate
that margin of victory, rendering the votes of
tens of thousands of us meaningless. That's
just not right. Maybe all of us whose votes
Boswell will negate should return the favor by
supporting his opponent, Ed Fallon, in the
upcoming Democratic primary. Mike Keller, Des Moines
