What happens to Lieberman's delegates?

[Goldom]

Or any others who drop out from now on, who have already won some? Do they get to re-choose?

[mastein]

1. One of a few things

If Lieberman endorses someone else and does not release his delegates then those people in theory vote for the person he endorsed.

If he chooses not to endorse and it is close he could use his power in a floor fight (thought I doubt he has that many now)

If he chooses to release his delegates they are free to vote their conscious.

2. ...and is it too late for him to file as a Republican?

:evilgrin:

3. How could he have any.

He has won nothing. Kerry has won the most. Dean got 7 in Iowa. Some more in NH. No one gets anything for less than 15% of the votes in the primaries. The rest are by proportion.

Super delegates are not committed to anyone.(807) Won delegates are only committed to the first ballot at the convention. No one can win with super delegates unless they win some real votes.

Joe might have some "supers" but nothing much else.

Voted Clark yesterday.

4. Suddenly everyone is Lieberman's friend

and have nothing but praise for him. How charming.

5. All of Lieberman's current delegates

are super-delegates (undeclared) and not won delegates (declared) so they are free to do pretty much whatever they want.
