Wobbler and leaner superdelegates
Sen. Maria Cantwell told The Columbian’s editorial board this week that she will reconsider her support in late June and look to see which Democratic presidential candidate has the most pledged delegates.

“I definitely don’t want the super delegates to be the deciding factor,” she said.

“If we have a candidate who has the most delegates and the most states,” the Democratic party should come together around that candidate, Cantwell said. The pledged delegate count will be the most important factor, she said, because that is the basis of the nominating process.

Cantwell’s staff confirmed that to The Stranger’s Eli Sanders.
