Nagin Picked As Superdelegate

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was elected as a superdelegate to the Democratic Party's presidential nominating convention.

The state party's central committee picked Nagin over four other candidates, including Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, who unsuccessfully challenged Nagin for mayor in 2006.

Nagin is one of 11 Louisiana superdelegates who will go to the convention and does not need to pledge his support to a candidate beforehand.
