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 laugh-riot comedy breakthrough movie “Animal House.”

Carmine DePasto is Mayor of Delta’s college town.  He’s a tough-as-nails administrator who grudgingly recognizes the role Faber College plays in his town’s economic success, such as student parades down main street.  Example of his encounters with school officials:

Mayor Carmine De Pasto: If you want this year’s homecoming parade in my town, you have to pay for it.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Carmine, I don’t think it’s right that you should extort money from the college.
Mayor Carmine De Pasto: Look, these parades you throw are very expensive. You using my police, my sanitation people, and my Oldsmobiles free of charge. So, if you mention extortion again, I’ll have your legs broken.

Because of the heavy influence of the college and students in his town’s affairs, Mayor DePasto would do will to get aboard the Barack Obama bandwagon — if only for job preservation.

Photos of the mayor are hard to come by.  Presumably, he’s somewhere near this street activity:
