Thank you!

On April 7th, I posted about how an Add-on Delegate in DC who'd been working on behalf of and had endorsed Clinton lied to the committee to get the add on.

Well, ready to hear the result?

 Breaking News: Thomas Backs Obama

You heard it here first. Council member and newly elected superdelegate Harry Thomas Jr., initially a supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is announcing in minutes that he will cast his vote at the Democratic National Convention in Denver for Sen. Barack Obama.

Thomas received more than 100 phone calls and e-mails from constituents who feared that he would use his power as a superdelegate to vote for Clinton despite the city's overwhelming support of Obama in the Potomac Primary.
"After meeting with the candidates and listening to my constituents, I have to honor the 83 percent who support Barack Obama," he said in an interview, referring to the results of the Democratic primary.

Thomas will make the announcement at 10 p.m. at a debate watch party.

Don't know if it actually happened last night, but I'm glad he felt the pressure and announced that he would announce his change.

Thanks guys!!

  •  Are you frickin' kidding me??

    If that happens, then Clintons are officially politically dead.
