UW student basks in superdelegate status

Want to tell a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention how to vote?

University of Wisconsin student Awais Khaleel is, by virtue of his status as the current vice president of College Democrats of America, in the same league as former President Jimmy Carter, U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold and other prominent Democratic officials and party insiders. He’s an unpledged superdelegate to the convention that will decide whether Illinois Sen. Barack Obama or New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee for president of the United States.

Unlike most superdelegates, Khaleel remains genuinely uncommitted.
