Your future is calling. The Charlotte city councilwoman is a superdelegate to Democratic convention, pledged to Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Dont’ ask.)

It now looks that like the 795 superdelegates may have to help pick the Democratic nominee for president. Clinton and Barack Obama are now in a deadheat with around 800 delegates each and some analysts project that neither will get the required 2000-odd delegates required to win the nomination. In theory, that is where the superdelegates would come in.

Except that no one knows if that is possible — let alone a good idea. One New Jersey SD has already slid from Hillary to uncommitted, suggesting that anything is possible. There are also reports of SDs — usually pols themselves — being wooed by the two campaigns already. You can imagine the kinds of things that might be offered for a vote. Federal appointment? No sweat.

This kind of backroom, wheelin’ and dealin’ is already leaving some Democrats cold. They note the disconnect between the supposed party of people inching toward selecting its nominee via insider horse-trading, not a popular vote.

“If 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. There’s no reason why we should decide,” long-time Democratic strategist and superdelegate Donna Brazile declared on CNN.

Yes but that does not change the fact that if neither Obama or Clinton come out of the primary process with enough delegates to nominate a candidate someone, somewhere is going to have to pick one.

Bonus Observation: Shades of the whole Nick Mackey weighted “selection” process, no?

Update: Another SD, David Parker of Mooresville, is getting the heavy woo. News14 reports his voicemail:

“Hi, Mr. Parker, this is Chelsea Clinton calling,” repeats his telephone’s answering machine. “I just wanted to talk to you about my mom and her campaign.” The daughter of senator and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is only one of the people trying to reach Parker.

“I could endorse Hillary Clinton today talking with you,” said Parker during an interview this weekend, “change my mind tomorrow, and change it back.”
