What is ISDOU?
The objective of this project is to ensure that undecided superdelegates recognize the serious blow-back to the party if the will of tens of millions of voters in the Democratic primaries and caucuses is reversed by 796 party insiders.
When we started this project back at the beginning of March, we hoped to build a simple site to not just warn voters of the potential superdelegate disaster, but EMPOWER them to easily send a personalized message to the DNC, and their local delegates outlining concrete steps they pledge to take if superdelegates over rule us.
By the time the convention rolls around, if the race is still undecided and the political environment is right, this small project could help frame the issue in the eyes of voters and send a strong enough message to the party insiders that they start to think twice about disregarding the popular vote.
If Superdelegates Overrule Us is the brain child of:
Bob Hewitt: As a poltical-blogger, Bob first endorsed Obama's candidacy back in Feb of 07. Since then he's canvassed in New Hampshire, designed/distributed t-shirts in Ohio, plastered a train station in Boston with some original stickers and attended every primary watch-party in Manhattan where he lives.
