Sink, Korge disagree with Pelosi
CFO Alex Sink - who hopes to be tapped as a unpledged delegate at the convention - has been pretty quiet on this FL Democratic delegate mess. So Buzz asked whether she thinks uncommited superdelegates ultimately have an obligation to back whoever is leading in pledged delegates and popular votes. Nope. "The rules are the rules,'' said Sink, who is officially neutral though husband Bill McBride is backing Clinton.
Meanwhile, TPM has Chris Korge of Miami among 20 top Clinton fundraisers chastising Speaker Nancy Pelosi for suggesting the supers must support the pledged delegate leader.
Sink said she is confident Florida will get seated, that the Jan. 29 vote should be taken into account, and that she would be comfortable with Florida Democrats losing half their delegates. She doesn't see the need to take a central role in trying to fix the mess: "There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen and I don't think one more cook is going to necessarily add anything."
