Super Delegates Abandoning Hillary?
Friday, February 15th, 2008
Rep. John Lewis will announce today that he’s bailing on Hillary and will vote for Obama at the DNC convention, according to the New York Times. Why? Because he represents Atlanta and Atlanta voted 3:1 for Barack. BUT WAIT: Hillary’s campaign says the NYT lies! And John Lewis is not exactly a random congressman — if he jumps ship, it will suddenly be okay for a whole lot more congressional Democrats to do the same. Meanwhile, fellow Georgia Congressman David Scott is supposedly switching to Obama, too. [NYT/CBS/WP/AJC]
