Clinton Nabs Another Tennessee Super
Posted on May 14, 2008 at 10:20 am“Automatic” delegate to the Democratic National Convention, Vicki Harwell, President of the Tennessee Federation of Democratic Women,has thrown her lot in with Hillary Clinton:
“Hillary’s decisive victory in West Virginia is the latest evidence that she is the strongest candidate to take on John McCain and win back the White House,” Harwell said. “Hillary has the plans, leadership and experience to deliver real results as President.”
Harwell was an “add-on” delegate selected at a March 8th meeting of the Democratic State Executive Committee.
At the time of her selection, Harwell indicated she was “leaning towards” backing Senator Clinton but was recently quoted in the Tennessean confirming her uncommitted status while betraying a slight openness to Obama.
Harwell had received calls from the Clinton campaign soliciting her support but none from Obama. She expressed a hope that Obama was not making assumptions in his neglecting o reach out:
“I get really irritated with the media when they paint this as a choice between race and gender,” she said. “If he’s discouraged because of that, it’s a shame. A lot of our women are supporting Obama.”
Out of seventeen Democratic superdelegates from Tennessee four now support Obama, six are pledged to Clinton and the rest remain uncommitted.

Barack, Call Her
Posted on April 27, 2008 at 10:43 pmIlissa Gold calls on Barack Obama to get on the horn with Vicki Harwell, President of the Tennessee Federation for Democratic Women and an uncommitted superdelegate to the Democratic Convention:
Senator Obama, she just hinted, in a big way, that this could be another unexpected superdelegate pickup for you. Because if she is definitely supporting Clinton, she wouldn’t have bothered to drop that hint. So please, PLEASE, call her!
