Anton,
  You are 100% correct I apologize.  However, I think you may have 
discovered something.  Below is my original dhclient.conf file.  Everything 
except the send host-name and the request is commented out.  I put the 
erroneous supersede command "before" the send host-name which I think would 
have caused the rest of the script not to execute.  If you put my "bad" 
supersede at the end it would execute the send host-name and the request 
command before the script failed.  I rebooted using the original 
dhclient.conf and my network didn't work.  I decided to try commenting out 
the send host-name and the request command.  I rebooted and the network was 
working!  I do not understand at all why this works...

# Configuration file for /sbin/dhclient, which is included in Debian's
# dhcp3-client package.
#
# This is a sample configuration file for dhclient. See dhclient.conf's
# man page for more information about the syntax of this file
# and a more comprehensive list of the parameters understood by
# dhclient.
#
# Normally, if the DHCP server provides reasonable information and does
# not leave anything out (like the domain name, for example), then
# few changes must be made to this file, if any.
