We continue our special in-depth educational series, Meet Your Superdelegates.  A rare chance to get to know specific superdelegates who will be deciding the Democratic presidential nominee.  We’re focusing on party elders, government officials, senior advisors, and other high profile politicians who feature prominently in television and film.  And we boldly speculate who they will back at the Democratic convention.  Today’s superdelegate profile comes from the breakthrough TV sitcom sensation “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

Margaret Geddes is a Minnesota congresswoman whom Mary Tyler Moore befriends.  At one point Mary invites Congresswoman Geddes to a fancy dinner at her home, trying hard to ensure that everything is perfect.  In fact, Mary is forced to make use of Sue Ann’s expertise as a cook when Rep. Geddes, with whom Mary worked on a news show, accepts her very casual invitation to dinner.  Later, Geddes merits a return visit to Mary’s house, this time with Johnny Carson.  Geddes remains true to her friend — which means she’ll remain steadfast to Hillary Clinton while all others are bolting to Barack Obama.
