Superdelegates
IT'S OFFICIAL : John Lewis for Obama!

Oh.
My.
Blog.
THIS IS HUGE!
This is the beginning of the end of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
I just saw on MSNBC that Congressman John Lewis is indeed changing camps. Andrea Mitchell got the scoop and was completely floored when he said this was the hardest decision he has ever made in his life, harder than the decision to walk over the Pettus bridge.
If you don't know what I mean by that, let me give you a refresher :
On Sunday March 7, 1965, about six hundred people began a fifty-four mile march from Selma, Alabama to the state capitol in Montgomery. They were demonstrating for African American voting rights and to commemorate the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson, shot three weeks earlier by an state trooper while trying to protect his mother at a civil rights demonstration. On the outskirts of Selma, after they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the marchers, in plain sight of photographers and journalists, were brutally assaulted by heavily armed state troopers and deputies.

Congressman's conversation with Andrea Mitchell sounded more like a confession at church. He looked somber and heavy hearted. He said it was difficult because the Clintons "were family". Yet he had a responsibility to go with the force of history, especially him, a man who did give his blood, sweat and tears to give black people, like Barack Obama, a chance at the presidency.
