Super Delegate - David Wilhelm

February 13, 2008

David Wilhelm is a super delegate! But he’s a really SUPER Super Delegate when it comes to influence within the democratic party. More than just an American political operative and businessman, David was Bill Clinton’s campaign chairman in 1992, but today he is expcted to announce his support not for Hillary, but for Barack Obama!

Can you feel the Obama tsunami tide rolling over the political landscape?

And, being a native of Appalachian Ohio sure doesn’t hurt in light of John Glenn endorsing Hillary. David Wilhelm is a venture capitalist who focuses on spurring sustainable economic growth in areas that tend not to receive much investment. He received his B.A. from Ohio University, Master in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and honorary doctorates from Ohio University and the University of Charleston.

Did someone say there’s an Ohio primary March 4th? :-)

Wilhelm gained national prominence in 1992 as he ran the day-to-day operations of the Clinton campaign, overseeing political outreach, state outreach, and all staff. He was the campaign’s authority on electoral college strategy and spearheaded the bus tour through the heartland that followed the Democratic National Convention. He did such a fabulous job that Bill Clinton named Wilhelm to serve as chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), making Wilhelm the youngest person to head a national party in American history.

Wilhelm is no Jason Rae, that’s for sure!

Throughout his career, Wilhelm has managed the successful campaigns of Senator Paul Simon, Senator Joe Biden, Governor Rod Blagojevich, and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Wilhelm also served as chair of the Illinois presidential campaign of John Kerry and John Edwards in 2004.

A great endorsement- if that actually happens this afternoon.
